Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $1,696 sticker price at City College of San Francisco. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay an average of $6,859 annually, while those from middle-income families ($30,000-$48,000) pay just $6,097. Higher-income students face steeper costs, with families earning $75,000-$110,000 paying $13,263 per year.

Over two years, total costs range from roughly $12,000 to $26,500 depending on family income. The typical graduate leaves with $8,218 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $87. That's manageable against median earnings of $45,805 ten years after graduation. Only 17% of students receive federal financial aid, reflecting the college's already low costs. The best deal goes to middle-income families, who qualify for the lowest net prices while avoiding the higher costs that wealthier students face.
