Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing

What is the cost of studying for a year at Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $20,430, with $1,578 in required fees, for $22,008 in tuition and mandatory fees. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. A part-time undergraduate tuition rate of $681 per credit was reported; the cost of a part-time term depends on credits and applicable fees.

• Undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $22,008.
• Reported annual room and board: $10,492.
• Reported books and supplies: $3,640.
• Combined amount for those three reported categories: $36,140, before transportation, personal expenses, and other applicable costs.

The combined figure is an illustration using categories from the same reporting year, not an individual financial-aid offer. Students living off campus may face different housing and meal expenses, while clinical supplies and transportation can be consequential in a nursing program. Reported full-time graduate tuition was $9,060 with $305 in required fees for 2024-25; graduate students should use their program's own course load and charges rather than the undergraduate illustration.

Financial aid can change the amount a student pays. Eligible students may pursue federal grants and loans, Illinois aid, and institutional scholarships by following the college's financial-aid application instructions. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $8,884, but an average is not an individual entitlement. In the 2024-25 data, 26% of students received student loans. Students using military education benefits should have their eligibility and program charges reviewed individually; a reported average benefit is not a guaranteed award.

What are the work-study opportunities at Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing?

Working while enrolled requires planning around nursing courses and clinical schedules. A part-time job can provide income, but employment, Federal Work-Study, and a required educational clinical experience are different arrangements with different eligibility and responsibilities.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, generally pays wages for work performed rather than reducing a tuition bill upfront. An offer also does not by itself secure a job. Students considering work should ask the financial-aid office how employment eligibility and available positions are handled, and ask their nursing program when clinical schedules are assigned.

For career planning, clinical learning provides experience in health care settings but should not be mistaken for a job offer or a substitute for licensure. Students seeking help with a résumé, interviewing, or identifying employers should confirm which advising and employer-contact services are available to their program and whether they can use them before graduation.
