Important Financial Information. Please read this carefully.

1. The current cost of attending Nyack College (the college account or bill) for the nine-month academic year 2008-2009 is approximately $26,000 (Nyack, NY Campus) or $18,000 (NYC Commuter Campus). The United States government requires that students demonstrate ability to cover related academic costs also, therefore students need to show a total support of $26,000 (Nyack, NY Campus) or $18,000 (NYC Commuter Campus) per year to cover this estimated total budget. This includes tuition and fees, and room and board, travel costs, books, or costs of living during periods when the school is closed. Please keep in mind that this figure is subject to minor changes without prior notification.

2. Scholarships up to $8500 may be available for qualified international students (Nyack, NY Campus).  Scholarships up to $4000 may be available for qualified international students (NYC Commuter Campus).

3. Possible on-campus employment once you are enrolled cannot be counted as part of this support.

4. US immigration law restricts off-campus work opportunities, and on-campus work opportunities may be available to you but are not guaranteed.
