Northwest Indian College's 2024-25 reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $3,960, with $405 in required fees, for a combined published tuition-and-fees amount of $4,365. The reported figures were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. A part-time per-credit charge was reported as $110; an individual bill can also depend on enrollment and course-specific charges.

  • Published 2024-25 full-time tuition: $3,960.
  • Published 2024-25 required fees: $405.
  • Reported median annual room and board charge: $5,500; this is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate.

Financial aid changes what many students pay. In the 2024-25 aid data, 86% of students received financial aid, and the reported average grant award from all counted sources was $9,613.

What are the work-study opportunities at Northwest Indian College?

Students seeking paid work while enrolled should distinguish a Federal Work-Study award from a job offer. Work-Study is need-based financial aid for eligible students; it generally requires a qualifying position and payment for hours actually worked. An award does not mean that wages arrive automatically or that a particular position is reserved.

Northwest Indian College's financial aid office is the appropriate starting point for checking Work-Study eligibility and current openings. Students can also ask about ordinary part-time campus jobs, which may have different eligibility and funding rules. For career-related experience, an academic adviser can help identify whether a program offers applied projects, fieldwork, or internships; those activities are not necessarily paid employment. Reported 2024-25 aid data show 0% of students receiving student loans, but that statistic alone does not establish what borrowing options are available to an individual.
