North Seattle College

What is the cost of studying for a year at North Seattle College?

North Seattle's published charges are only one part of the cost of attending. For 2024-25, the reported average full-time undergraduate tuition was $4,488 for Washington residents, with $750 in required fees. The corresponding out-of-state tuition figure was $5,046, also with $750 in required fees. Actual billing depends on residency classification, credits, program, and term.

• Washington-resident tuition and required fees: approximately $5,238 using those reported figures.
• Out-of-state tuition and required fees: approximately $5,371 using those reported figures.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $762.
• Reported room-and-board estimate: $17,868; this is a living-expense estimate, not a North Seattle residence-hall charge.

Transportation, personal expenses, and individual housing choices can materially change the full cost of attendance. Adding a living estimate to tuition can help with budgeting, but it should not be read as a campus housing bill or as a complete, individualized annual quote.

Financial aid can reduce what a student pays. In the reported aid data, 76% of students received some form of financial aid, while 2% received student loans. The average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $9,989; net price incorporates grant aid but remains an average, not an award estimate. Eligible students may seek federal grants, Washington state aid, scholarships, and veterans' education benefits. Completing the appropriate FAFSA or Washington Application for State Financial Aid, where eligible, is a practical first step; residency and program eligibility still matter.

What are the work-study opportunities at North Seattle College?

North Seattle students can pursue part-time work and career support, but Federal Work-Study, an ordinary campus job, and an internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an eligible job; an award does not itself place a student in a position.

Students considering Work-Study should complete the applicable financial-aid application, review their award, and ask how available jobs are posted and filled. Other part-time positions may have different eligibility and funding rules. Internship availability depends on the program and employer; the college does not require an internship of every student.

Career services reported for students include individual and group career planning, résumé help, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Those services can help a student search and prepare, but they are not employment guarantees. A student pursuing a career-specific credential should ask which employer contacts, internship options, and hiring events are relevant to that field.
