Cost Overview

Most Furman families pay around $30,000 annually after aid, not the $75,180 sticker price. Low-income students get the best deal at $16,190 per year, while wealthy families still pay $37,271. Over four years, expect to invest $120,000 to $149,000 depending on your family's finances.

The 9:1 student-faculty ratio and small class sizes justify the premium pricing for families who value personalized attention. Graduates typically carry $23,250 in debt with monthly payments of $246. That's manageable considering alumni earn $68,635 ten years out. The 82.55% loan repayment rate shows most graduates handle their debt successfully.

Only 28% of students receive institutional grants, but those who do get an average of $36,384. Wealthy out-of-state families pay the most here, while low-income students from any state get substantial support to attend this strong liberal arts college.
