Salish Kootenai College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Salish Kootenai College?

For 2024-25, Salish Kootenai College reported undergraduate tuition of $5,076 for a full-time in-state student and $10,260 for a full-time out-of-state student. Required fees were $1,323 in either category. Tuition plus those fees therefore totaled $6,399 in-state or $11,583 out-of-state for that reporting year.

• In-state undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $6,399.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $11,583.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition per credit, before applicable fees: $141 in-state or $285 out-of-state.

Those figures are not a complete annual cost of attendance. Housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses can materially change the budget, especially for someone relocating to Pablo. Graduate tuition and fees also follow a different schedule. Students entering in a later year should use that year's published charges and an individualized aid offer rather than assume the 2024-25 amounts still apply.

Financial aid changes the picture but does not reduce every student's bill by the same amount. In 2024-25 figures, 68% of students received financial aid, while 16% had student loans. The reported average grant award was $8,426. For students in the $0-$48,000 family-income band, the reported average net price was $9,221; net price is an average cost after grant and scholarship aid, not a quoted tuition charge or a personal award. Eligible students may consider federal grants, tribal or other scholarships, loans, and military education benefits, with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) a key step for federal assistance.

What are the work-study opportunities at Salish Kootenai College?

Salish Kootenai College students can explore employment alongside their studies, but a job, a work-study award, and an internship should not be treated as interchangeable. Federal Work-Study, when awarded to an eligible student, generally provides wages for approved work; it is not money automatically deducted from tuition.

Students interested in campus jobs should ask financial aid and the hiring department how positions are advertised, whether a particular opening requires Federal Work-Study eligibility, and how many hours can fit around classes or clinical work. Separate from employment, reported career services include individual and group career counseling, career-interest testing, a job bank, and access to job interviews and employer recruitment. Those services can support a search but are not evidence that a student will receive a job offer.
