Once MEPN students complete the first five (5) quarters of the program they pay the same tuition as regular Master of Nursing students in the School of Nursing (see below).

While the University of Washington recently modified its tuition residency policy, so as to hold students to a stricter level of scrutiny, it is still committed to actively recruiting graduate and professional students from throughout the nation and the world, and to continuing to provide competitive recruitment packages.

The University offers a number of graduate service appointments (e.g. Teaching Assistantships, Research Assistantships, Fellowships, Traineeships). Such appointees (both domestic and international) receive full tuition waivers as well as health insurance coverage for themselves and their dependents.

In addition, non-resident domestic students who do not hold graduate service appointments but who are in their second or later year of enrollment, may be eligible to qualify for residency or they may be awarded a non-resident tuition waiver, thereby allowing them to pay in-state tuition.

In addition to tuition and living expenses, additional costs for MEPN students may include: a one-time student health fee - approximately $300; uniform jacket, name badge and stethoscope - approximately $200; books and supplies - $1000 for the Pre-RN licensure portion of the program and $1200 for the Master's portion; clinical course fees when students use consumables (variable--$15-$80 per course); up to $800 for Master's thesis preparation; and transportation - variable.

Some financial aid is available to eligible students through the University and School. Completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid Form (FAFSA) is required for most of the aid administered through the University. Priority filing date is February 28. Research and teaching assistantships are available for some students providing work with faculty on active research grants and other educational activities.
