Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $9,245 after aid, while those from families making $30,000-$48,000 pay even less at $8,062. Middle-income families ($48,000-$75,000) see costs jump to $14,175, and higher earners pay close to the full price.
Since this is a two-year program, total costs run $16,000-$31,000 depending on family income. The typical graduate leaves with $10,507 in debt, which means monthly payments of about $111. That's manageable when you consider graduates earn a median of $40,576 after six years. Only 16.76% of students take federal loans, suggesting many can afford it without borrowing heavily.
Lower-income students get the best deal here, paying less than half the sticker price and keeping debt low for a rural North Dakota community college.
