Cost Overview

Families earning under $75,000 typically pay around $29,650 annually at Great Northern University. Middle-class families earning $75,000-$110,000 face costs of about $32,695 per year. High earners pay the same amount, making this a rare school where income barely affects your bill. Over four years, expect to spend between $118,600 and $130,780 total.

This tiny private university keeps costs relatively flat across income brackets because very few students receive institutional aid. Only 2.78% of students get merit scholarships, averaging just $3,545. The 31.43% federal loan rate suggests most families pay out of pocket or rely on federal aid. With just 36 students total and a 3:1 student-faculty ratio, you're paying for an extremely intimate educational experience in Spokane.

Lower-income families get the best deal here, saving about $3,000 annually compared to wealthier peers.
