Pueblo Community College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Pueblo Community College?

PCC's published price depends strongly on Colorado residency, course load, and program. In the 2025-26 figures, average full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees were approximately:

• Colorado resident: $4,058 tuition plus $991 in required fees, or $5,049 combined.
• Out-of-state student: $16,658 tuition plus $991 in required fees, or $18,264 combined.

These are tuition-and-fee figures, not complete annual living budgets. The reported estimate for books and supplies is $1,460. Students must also budget for housing, food, transportation, and personal costs; some programs add equipment, uniforms, tests, or clinical-related expenses. Because PCC does not operate student housing, a room-and-board allowance in a cost-of-attendance estimate should not be interpreted as the price of a PCC residence hall.

For 2024-25, the reported average net price was $12,345 for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less and $11,892 for those in the $48,001-$75,000 band. Net price estimates account for grant aid and include living and other budgeted expenses; they are not tuition quotes or an individual aid offer.

Eligible students may use federal grants, Colorado aid, scholarships, veterans' education benefits, or loans. In the reported aid figures, 83% of students received some form of financial aid, while 16% had student loans. To compare realistic costs, an applicant should complete the FAFSA, review PCC scholarship opportunities, and use the college's current cost-of-attendance budget for their own enrollment level and residency status.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pueblo Community College?

Eligible PCC students may be able to combine classes with part-time employment, including Federal Work-Study positions when funding and jobs are available. Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through paid work, not a grant paid automatically or a guarantee of a position.

Students interested in it should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask PCC's financial aid or student-employment staff how available jobs are posted and filled. Ordinary part-time jobs do not require a Work-Study award; internships, meanwhile, may have academic requirements and may or may not be paid.

PCC's career resources include a job bank, résumé assistance, interview preparation, and job fairs. Those services can support a search for work during college or after it, but students should check job eligibility, hours, and pay for each opening individually.
