University of Northwestern-St Paul

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Northwestern-St Paul?

For 2024-25, Northwestern reported undergraduate tuition of $36,980 and required fees of $940 for full-time students, with the same published amounts for in-state and out-of-state students. Reported typical room and board charges totaled $11,904, and estimated books and supplies were $400.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $37,920.
• Typical room and board: $11,904.
• Estimated books and supplies: $400.
• Subtotal of those reported items: $50,224, before transportation and personal expenses.

That subtotal is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget and is not necessarily what a student will pay. Housing choices, course materials, travel, and individual aid change the result. In 2024-25 reporting, the average net price for families with annual income of $48,001-$75,000 was $21,689; for the $0-$48,000 group, it was $23,884. Net price reflects costs after applicable grant and scholarship aid for the measured group, not a guaranteed quote for an applicant.

Northwestern students may qualify for federal grants and loans, Minnesota aid where eligible, and institutional scholarships or grants. IPEDS reports that 100% of the measured undergraduate group received some form of financial aid, while 27% received student loans; the average grant aid reported for undergraduate recipients was $21,857. The practical comparison is between individual aid offers and full annual budgets, including whether an award renews and what conditions apply. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and review Northwestern's current scholarship and aid deadlines.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Northwestern-St Paul?

Northwestern students can look for part-time employment alongside their studies, while eligible students may also have access to Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is need-based aid earned through an eligible job; it is not a grant paid automatically or a guarantee of a position.

Students considering employment should ask financial aid how work eligibility appears in an offer and where current campus jobs are posted. They should distinguish an ordinary campus job, a Work-Study-funded job, and an internship taken for academic credit: each can have different pay, eligibility, and degree requirements.

Northwestern's career services extend beyond student jobs. Reported services include individual and group career planning, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest tools, a job bank, employer events, and alumni networking opportunities. These are resources students can use while exploring majors or seeking internships and postgraduation work; their availability does not constitute a placement or employment guarantee.
