The college offers sliding-scale affordability based on family income. Lower-income families ($0-30K) pay just $14,666 annually, while middle-class families ($75-110K) face $27,423 per year.

Gettysburg's generous institutional grants average $42,448 for recipients. About 27% of students receive these merit and need-based awards. Half of graduates carry federal loans, with typical debt of $26,999 translating to $286 monthly payments. Given median earnings of $71,517 ten years out, most alumni manage debt comfortably.
