Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying

Most of my quarters are under $2000 and I'm getting more than I paid for. The experience I'm getting here is great and really prepares you for the industry.
Elizabeth from Bothell, WA
For residents, Lake Washington Tech is pretty inexpensive compared to other schools like it. It's priced like a community college, about 500-600 a class, and the academic courses are relatively short. Most degrees are two year degrees, and tuition after class fees is around 1700 full time for one semester.
Jessica from Bothell, WA
I am here for the culinary program and its at least half the cost of the other colleges that I looked at!
