Cost Overview
Most families pay between $10,000 and $18,000 annually depending on income, despite the $4,678 sticker price. Lower-income families pay around $11,025 per year, while those earning over $110,000 pay $17,548. Over two years, total costs range from $20,000 to $35,000. This reflects New Orleans' higher living costs compared to rural community colleges.
Graduates carry a median debt of $20,198, translating to $214 monthly payments. With median earnings of $33,305 ten years out, loan payments consume about 8% of gross income. The 48.66% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle with payments. Only 7.58% receive institutional grants, averaging $5,204. Nearly two-thirds qualify for Pell Grants, reflecting the school's role serving working-class New Orleans families.
The best deal goes to lowest-income students who maximize federal aid while avoiding excessive borrowing for workforce training programs.
