Walla Walla Community College

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

For the 2025-26 reporting year, WWCC's reported average full-time undergraduate tuition was $5,279 for Washington residents and $7,207 for out-of-state students. These are published tuition figures, not an estimate of every student's final bill or full cost of attendance.

• Washington-resident full-time undergraduate tuition: $5,279.
• Out-of-state full-time undergraduate tuition: $7,207.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $528.
• Reported room-and-board estimate: $17,310; this is a living-expense estimate, not the price of a WWCC residence hall.

Transportation, personal expenses, course materials, and program-specific charges can add to a student's budget. Part-time students should use the current per-credit schedule rather than divide an annual full-time figure without checking how tuition is assessed. WWCC reported no separate required full-time fees in the cited IPEDS tuition figures; that does not rule out charges tied to particular courses or services.

Financial aid can materially change the amount a student pays. In the reported aid data, 86% of students in the relevant aid cohort received financial assistance, while 12% took student loans. The average reported grant award was $7,607. For families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $8,825. Net price is an average after grant aid, not an individual quote. Eligible students may seek federal grants, the Washington College Grant, scholarships, and other assistance by completing the FAFSA or, where appropriate, Washington's state aid application. Students should use WWCC's current cost-of-attendance budget and their own aid offer for a realistic comparison.

What are the work-study opportunities at Walla Walla Community College?

Students seeking paid work while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an eligible job; it is not money automatically credited in full to a student's account.

Eligibility generally begins with the appropriate financial-aid application and depends on the student's award and available positions. Students should ask WWCC's financial-aid office how to identify eligible jobs, whether approved off-campus positions are offered, and how hiring and payroll work. Other campus or community jobs may be open without a Work-Study award, while internships or clinical placements may be unpaid or governed by program requirements. WWCC also provides individual career planning to undergraduates, a useful starting point for connecting coursework with job goals; career advising and a paid job offer are different services.
