Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay around $16,447 annually after aid, while those making over $110,000 pay about $24,356. Over four years, that ranges from roughly $66,000 to $97,000 total. The average net price sits at $19,125, meaning a four-year degree costs about $76,500 for most families.

Nearly three-quarters of students receive financial aid, with 72% qualifying for Pell Grants. Graduates carry a median debt of $36,500, translating to monthly payments of $387. With median earnings of $41,109 ten years out, loan payments consume about 11% of take-home pay. Only 41% of borrowers stay current on loan repayments, suggesting financial strain for many graduates.

Low-income students get the strongest value proposition here. Families earning less than $48,000 annually pay below the average, making Grambling one of the more affordable paths to a four-year degree in Louisiana.
