Net Price Calculator

Colleges participating in federal financial aid programs are required to supply families with a net price calculator on their website. Note that the Net Price Calculator uses prior academic year information and full-time enrollment for a student attending the Practical Nursing (PN) program for that academic year. The Federal Aid information provided upon completion of the calculation may not reflect actual eligibility. To view the current academic year’s information for all programs, please visit the Student Account's Tuition and Fees webpage.

For information about potential federal aid eligibility, the Department of Education provides a Federal Student Aid Estimator. The Federal Student Aid Estimator provides an estimate of how much federal student aid the student may be eligible to receive. These estimates are based on the Student Aid Index (SAI), an index number used to determine federal student aid eligibility.
