Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $1,430 per year after aid, while those from families making $30,000 to $48,000 pay $1,935. Even middle-class families earning $48,000 to $75,000 pay only $3,860 annually. Over four years, that means total costs range from about $5,700 to $15,400 for most students. The college serves working-class families well, with 95% of students coming from Florida.

Graduates leave with manageable debt of $7,147, which translates to monthly payments of just $76. With median earnings of $38,359 ten years after graduation, that payment represents less than 3% of monthly income.
