Yavapai College

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

For 2025-26, reported average full-time undergraduate tuition was $2,948 for Arizona residents and $9,504 for out-of-state students. Published tuition is only one part of the amount a student may need for an academic year.

• In-state full-time undergraduate tuition: $2,948 in 2025-26.
• Out-of-state full-time undergraduate tuition: $9,504 in 2025-26.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $12,180.
• Reported books and supplies cost: $1,022.

Course materials, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges can change the total. Housing costs also differ for residents and commuters, so adding the room-and-board figure to every student's bill would be misleading. Part-time students should compare charges by credit and check the current tuition schedule, since residency classification and course type can affect a bill.

Financial aid can reduce what a student pays. In the reported aid data, 60% of students in the measured group received financial aid, while 4% had student loans. The average net price for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less was $7,497; net price estimates costs after grant and scholarship aid for a defined group, not a quoted price for every applicant.

Eligible students may seek federal grants, loans, and work-study through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, as well as applicable scholarships and military education benefits. Grant eligibility and an individual aid offer depend on the student's circumstances. Comparing the college's current cost-of-attendance budget with a personal financial aid offer is more informative than comparing tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Yavapai College?

Yavapai College students can explore part-time employment alongside their studies, including positions connected to Federal Work-Study when they qualify. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial aid program that pays a student for eligible work; it is not a grant paid simply for enrolling.

Students interested in work-study should submit the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and follow the college's process for finding and applying to positions. An award does not by itself guarantee a particular job or work schedule. Other part-time jobs and internships have separate hiring rules and may be available regardless of work-study eligibility.

The college's career services can assist with career exploration, résumés, counseling, job-search preparation, and employer events. Students seeking experience in a specific field should ask whether their program offers internships or clinical placements and whether those experiences are required, paid, or eligible for academic credit.
