Cost Overview

Most families at Eastern Shore Community College pay around $4,975 per year, which works out to about $9,950 for a typical two-year degree. The actual cost varies quite a bit by income though. Families earning under $30,000 pay $4,821 annually, while those making $75,000 to $110,000 pay $10,019. Since all 433 students come from Virginia, everyone qualifies for the $4,938 in-state tuition rate rather than the $10,941 out-of-state price.

The college serves a working-class population where 36.63% receive Pell Grants, meaning many students have significant financial need. Only 10.85% get institutional grants averaging $5,170, so most students rely on the low base tuition rather than scholarships. With graduates earning about $32,418 ten years later, the debt load stays manageable. Students from lower-income families get the best financial deal here, paying less than $5,000 annually for career training that leads to steady employment in rural Virginia.
