Nearly 93% of students take federal loans, graduating with a median debt of $31,000. Monthly loan payments average $329, which represents a significant portion of the typical graduate's $39,196 salary after ten years. The loan repayment rate sits at just 55%, reflecting the financial challenges many graduates face.
Middle-income families from Louisiana get the strongest value proposition here. With 68% of students receiving Pell Grants and the same percentage getting financial aid, Dillard works hardest to serve first-generation college students who might not have access to other historically black institutions.
