Northwest Nazarene University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Northwest Nazarene University?

The published price of attending NNU is substantially higher than tuition alone. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $40,024, with $800 in required fees; the same reported charges applied to in-state and out-of-state students.

• Undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $40,824.
• Typical room and board, 2024-25: $12,260.
• Reported books and supplies, 2024-25: $700.

Those items add to $53,784 for an illustrative residential year before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges. It is not an official all-inclusive cost of attendance, and commuters would need a different housing and food budget. The reported part-time undergraduate tuition charge was $1,710 per credit hour, so part-time students should calculate costs from their actual course load rather than divide the full-time figure.

Published charges are not the same as net price. Reported undergraduate grant aid averaged $22,842 among recipients, but an average award is not an individual offer. For students in the reported $0-$48,000 family-income band, average net price was $30,626. Net-price figures reflect defined groups and aid assumptions; an applicant's actual amount depends on their financial-aid offer, living arrangement, and eligibility.

What are the work-study opportunities at Northwest Nazarene University?

Northwest Nazarene University students may be able to earn wages through campus employment, while eligible students may receive Federal Work-Study as part of a financial-aid offer. Federal Work-Study is an eligibility-based employment program - not a grant paid in full at the start of a term or a guarantee of a job.

Students generally need to file the FAFSA to be considered for Federal Work-Study. They must then find an available position and meet its hiring requirements; earnings depend on hours worked. Other campus jobs may be available without a Federal Work-Study award, subject to department budgets and hiring rules. Ask NNU's financial aid and student employment offices how openings are posted and whether a particular job requires a work-study award.

NNU also reports career support for undergraduates, including individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer events, and alumni networking. Those services can support a job or internship search, but they should not be confused with a required internship or a verified employment outcome for every graduate.
