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
It is a private school so the cost is higher
Teresa from Grandview, WA
It's pretty pricy and because I'm not a traditional student I am struggling to stay
Heather from Kenmore, WA
Northwest costs a LOT because they're a private school, but with any luck, there will be some scholarships to help me out.
Krystal from Marysville, WA
The experience here at Northwest University has been life changing, not just for me, but for many of my peers as well. There is always something new to see, hear, and explore.
Monique from San Jose, CA
it is a private school so it is a bit spendy, but it is very much so worth the money investment!
Jessica from Federal Way, WA
It is pricey. However, the education is well worth it and the community is spectacular.
Jennifer from Kirkland, WA
It's very pricey but there's great opportunities for developing close relationships and you get to know the professors and staff.
