Cost Overview

Bishop State families pay far less than the posted tuition thanks to generous aid packages. The average net price sits at $4,176, but this varies dramatically by income. Families earning under $30,000 pay just $3,902 after aid, while those making over $110,000 pay only $970. Over four years, most students spend between $15,000 and $18,000 total. With 42% of students receiving Pell Grants and another 14% getting institutional grants averaging $7,967, the college works hard to keep costs down for working families in Mobile.

The financial picture gets even better when you consider that no students take federal loans here. Graduates earn a median of $29,916 ten years out, which isn't high but comes without the debt burden that crushes many community college students elsewhere. Low-income students get the sweetest deal, paying less than $4,000 annually while building job skills in high-demand fields without borrowing a dime.
