Cost Overview
Most families at DeSales pay about $30,465 per year after financial aid, not the $44,800 sticker price. The actual cost depends heavily on family income. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $22,193 annually, while those from families making over $110,000 pay $33,532. Over four years, that ranges from about $89,000 to $134,000 total. Only 23% of students receive Pell Grants, suggesting most families fall into middle and upper-middle income brackets.
Graduates typically leave with $25,788 in debt, which translates to monthly payments of $273. With median earnings of $61,295 ten years after graduation, that's a manageable debt load. The 71% loan repayment rate shows most graduates can handle their payments. Students from lower-income families get the best financial deal here, paying roughly half what wealthy families pay. The Catholic university clearly tries to make education affordable for working-class students while charging full freight to families who can afford it.
