Cost Overview
Most Edward Waters families pay around $13,580 annually after financial aid, far below the $22,888 sticker price. The net cost varies dramatically by income level. Families earning under $30,000 pay about $12,861 per year, while those making over $110,000 face $20,001 annually. Over four years, that ranges from roughly $51,000 to $80,000 total.
Three-quarters of students receive financial aid, with 76% qualifying for Pell Grants. The school distributes nearly $1.8 million in athletic scholarships across its 12 varsity sports. However, only 17% of borrowers successfully repay their federal loans within the standard timeframe. Graduates earn a median of $34,782 ten years after enrollment, which helps explain the loan repayment challenges.
Low-income families get the strongest value proposition here. The combination of significant need-based aid and relatively modest increases for higher-income brackets makes Edward Waters most affordable for families earning under $48,000.
