For an individual student, the key distinction is between the college's published charges and net price, an estimate of attendance costs after grant and scholarship aid. A budget should also include books, supplies, transportation, and any program-related clinical expenses, even for a student who will not pay for campus housing.
IPEDS 2024-25 reports the following average net prices by family-income band; these are group averages, not quotes for a particular applicant:
In the same reporting period, 98% of students received financial aid and 0% were reported as receiving student loans. Neither figure establishes what aid a new applicant will qualify for. Eligible students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and request a current, program-specific cost sheet and aid offer. Compare charges for the entire credential, including the number of terms and clinical-related costs, rather than relying only on an annual average.
Paid work during enrollment is distinct from a clinical placement, which may be required for academic credit but is not necessarily paid. Students planning to work should first compare job hours with their class and clinical schedules.
Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid automatically or a guarantee of placement. Applicants can ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study positions are available for their program, how students apply, and whether earnings are paid as wages. They can also ask the program office about clinical scheduling and any employment-search assistance, without treating such assistance as a verified job outcome.
