What is the cost of studying for a year at Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Vaughn was $28,910, with $900 in required fees. The published tuition and fee amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $964 per credit.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $29,810.
• Reported typical annual room and board charge: $12,900, for students using that housing and dining arrangement.
• Full-time graduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $25,740; part-time graduate tuition was reported at $1,035 per credit.

Tuition and fees are not the complete cost of attendance. Books, supplies, transportation and personal expenses can add substantially to a budget, especially for commuters; a student's housing choice changes it further. Adding the reported undergraduate tuition and fees to the typical room-and-board charge gives $42,710 before those other expenses. It is not a universal annual bill.

Aid can reduce the amount a student pays, but averages should not be read as an individual award. In 2024-25 aid reporting, 88% of students received financial aid, and the average grant aid reported for undergraduates was $6,978. Average net prices were about $40,000 for families in the lowest reported income band and above $43,000 in one higher-income band. Those net-price figures reflect the reporting methodology and student groups behind them, not a quote for a new applicant. Eligible students can explore federal and New York State grants, institutional scholarships, loans and applicable military education benefits; a personalized aid offer is necessary to compare actual costs.

What are the work-study opportunities at Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology?

Student employment and career preparation serve different purposes at Vaughn. A part-time job may help with current expenses, while an internship or employer contact may primarily provide experience; neither should be assumed to cover tuition or lead to a job offer.

Students seeking Federal Work-Study should complete the financial-aid process and check whether the program appears in their individual aid offer. Work-Study is a need-based federal student-employment program: an award generally sets an earnings limit, and students must secure eligible work and earn wages rather than receive the full amount automatically. Other campus jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules.

For career planning, students should ask Vaughn's career-services staff about current appointment availability, résumé and interview support, internship leads, employer events and ways to find openings related to their major. The most useful preparation depends on the goal: an aircraft-maintenance applicant, for example, should distinguish employer recruiting from the separate certification steps associated with maintenance work.
