For 2024-25, NHSC's reported full-time undergraduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students: $3,600 for the academic year, plus $270 in required fees. That makes reported tuition and mandatory fees $3,870 before books, living costs, transportation, or personal expenses.
The published cost figures also include a $10,440 room-and-board estimate. It should be treated as a living-expense budgeting figure, not as the price of an NHSC residence hall or meal plan: the college reports no college-owned or college-operated undergraduate housing. Transportation and personal expenses can raise a student's total budget further.
Financial aid can substantially change what a student pays. In 2024-25 reporting, 75% of students received financial aid, and the average grant aid awarded to undergraduate recipients was $14,609. The reported average net price for students from families with annual income of $0-$48,000 was $6,945; for the $48,001-$75,000 bracket, it was $10,717. These are group averages after applicable aid, not individual quotes.
Eligible students may consider federal grants, tribal or other scholarships, and applicable veteran education benefits. The college reported that 0% of students had student loans in the cited aid measure; that figure describes borrowing in that reporting population, not a promise that an applicant will avoid borrowing. Completing the FAFSA and checking scholarship eligibility are practical next steps when estimating an individual cost.
NHSC reports career support that includes individual and group career planning, résumé preparation, individual job-placement assistance, and on-campus employer recruitment for undergraduates. Those services can help a student explore work, but they are not employment guarantees.
Students seeking a campus job should distinguish an ordinary paid position from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through a job rather than a grant paid simply for enrolling; both an award and an available position matter. The financial aid office can explain an individual award, while the office advertising a job can explain its duties, hours, and hiring process. An internship is another arrangement altogether, and NHSC does not report requiring one of every student.
