Truckee Meadows Community College

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

TMCC's published IPEDS 2024-25 figures put in-state full-time undergraduate tuition at $2,970, with $382 in required fees. Together, those reported charges are $3,352 before books, housing, transportation, and personal expenses. Out-of-state tuition was reported at $11,636, plus the same required fees.

• In-state tuition and required fees: $3,352 for the reported full-time academic year.
• Out-of-state tuition and required fees: $12,412 for the reported full-time academic year.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $856.

These are historical reporting-year figures, not a quote for a future term. Credit load, residency classification, course-specific charges, and later price changes can alter a bill. Because TMCC does not operate undergraduate housing, a room-and-board estimate should be understood as a living-expense allowance, not the price of a TMCC residence hall or meal plan.

Net price accounts for grant or scholarship aid as well as estimated attendance costs. In the same reported figures, average net price was $6,103 for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less; an individual's result can differ considerably. To estimate an amount payable, students should compare the current tuition schedule and cost-of-attendance budget with their own aid offer and expected living arrangements.

Eligible students may use federal grants, Nevada aid programs, scholarships, loans, or qualifying military education benefits. Filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a central step for federal aid and for aid programs that use its eligibility information. The IPEDS 2024-25 figures indicate that 80% of students received some form of financial aid, while 3% received student loans; those percentages describe past recipients, not an offer to a new applicant.

What are the work-study opportunities at Truckee Meadows Community College?

Eligible TMCC students may be able to pursue Federal Work-Study as part of a financial-aid package. Work-Study is paid employment with eligibility and funding limits, not a grant paid automatically to everyone who qualifies for aid.

Students should file the FAFSA, review their award information, and ask TMCC's financial aid office how available positions are advertised and whether Work-Study eligibility is required to apply. An ordinary part-time campus or community job can also provide income without being part of Federal Work-Study.

For career planning, students can use TMCC's advising and career-development resources to explore occupations and look for employment or internship opportunities relevant to a program. An internship may award academic credit, pay wages, both, or neither; its terms should be checked separately from student employment and financial aid.
