Cost Overview
Most Aurora families pay around $19,000 annually after aid, not the $42,660 sticker price. Low-income students with family incomes under $30,000 pay just $13,980 per year. Middle-class families earning $75,000-$110,000 face $22,070 annually. Over four years, expect to invest $76,000-$88,000 total. Nearly half of students borrow federal loans to cover costs.
Graduates leave with a median debt of $20,318, translating to $215 monthly payments. That's manageable against the $58,709 median salary Aurora grads earn a decade out. The university targets working-class students in suburban Chicago, with 43% receiving Pell Grants. About 20% get institutional scholarships averaging $18,677. Students from families earning under $48,000 get the strongest value, paying roughly half what wealthier families contribute while accessing the same nursing and education programs that lead to steady middle-class careers.
