Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay around $9,228 annually at Grand Rapids Community College, while those making over $110,000 pay $15,347. The college keeps costs manageable across income brackets, with most students completing their two-year programs for under $30,000 total. Only 15.61% of students take federal loans, and those who do graduate with a median debt of $9,000.

Monthly loan payments average just $95, which looks reasonable against median earnings of $38,377 ten years after enrollment. The 93.9% employment rate suggests graduates find work quickly in Grand Rapids' diverse economy. However, the 18.50% six-year graduation rate means many students take longer than expected or transfer elsewhere.

Low-income students get the best deal here, paying less than $10,000 annually while accessing career training and transfer pathways in Michigan's second-largest city.
