Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than Fisk's $38,000 sticker price. The average net cost is $26,135 annually, totaling around $105,000 over four years. Families earning under $30,000 pay just $21,410 per year, while those making $75,000-$110,000 face the steepest cost at $35,437 annually. This reflects Fisk's commitment to making education accessible to students from all economic backgrounds.

Graduates typically leave with $27,000 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $286. With median earnings of $45,454 ten years after graduation, loan payments consume about 7.6% of monthly income. The 40% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle financially after leaving. Only 31% of students receive institutional grants averaging $18,580, while nearly half qualify for Pell Grants. Low-income students get the best financial deal at this historically Black institution, though graduation rates remain concerning at 44% over six years.
