Northwest College Tuition Information

On average, colleges raise tuition about 3% each year.

If this information makes going to college seem daunting, remember, the advertized cost of tuition doesn't tell the full story. Many students find the actual cost of college is way less than the sticker price after grants, scholarships, and tuition discounts are applied. Plus, student loans can make the amount you do have to pay out of pocket feel more doable until you're done with college.

For information on Northwest College's financial aid options for first-year students, check with the school directly.

Each state has different requirements to qualify as in-state resident. In many states, students must have lived in the state for 12 months before starting school to qualify for in-state tuition.
