Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $10,400 sticker price at Copiah-Lincoln. Students from families earning under $48,000 pay around $2,700 per year after aid. The net price jumps to $6,500-$6,900 for middle-income families, then reaches full cost for those earning over $110,000. Over two years, total costs range from $5,400 to $20,800 depending on family income.

The school keeps debt manageable for those who borrow. Median debt of $7,435 translates to just $79 monthly payments after graduation. That represents only 3% of the typical graduate's $31,241 annual earnings, making loans very affordable. Just 8% of students take federal loans, suggesting most can afford school without borrowing. Low-income Mississippi residents get the best deal here, paying less than $3,000 annually while building skills for careers that often double their pre-college earnings.
