What is the cost of studying for a year at Northeastern State University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $7,810 for Oklahoma residents: $6,920 in tuition plus $890 in fees. The comparable reported amount for out-of-state students was $17,290: $16,400 in tuition plus the same reported fees. These are tuition-and-fee figures, not complete annual living-cost estimates.

• Oklahoma resident, full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $7,810.
• Out-of-state, full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $17,290.

• Reported average net price for families earning $48,001-$75,000 annually: $12,612.

Students must also budget for housing and meals, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. The applicable total cost of attendance depends on residency, enrollment level, living arrangement, and program-specific charges. The net-price examples reflect average costs after grant and scholarship aid for the stated income groups; they are not individual aid offers.

Financial aid can include eligible federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, federal student loans, and military education benefits. In the reported aid figures, 92% of students received some form of financial aid and 36% had student loans. Students seeking need-based aid should complete the FAFSA and check NSU's scholarship and priority-date instructions. A loan reduces the amount due now but must generally be repaid; a grant or scholarship usually does not.

What are the work-study opportunities at Northeastern State University?

NSU students can seek part-time work while studying, including campus jobs and, for eligible students, Federal Work-Study positions. Federal Work-Study is a financial-aid program, not an automatic job assignment: eligibility depends on a student's aid determination, and the student must still obtain a position.

Ordinary student employment may be available outside Work-Study, subject to hiring needs. Students should compare job hours with their class schedule, particularly if required courses, labs, or clinical experiences meet during the day. The university's career services provide job-search support, including individual career planning, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, and employer events. Those services are useful for finding work or internships but should not be mistaken for a verified job-placement outcome.
