Cost Overview

Most families pay around $17,324 annually at Idaho State, well below the $27,466 out-of-state sticker price. Low-income families earning under $30,000 pay just $14,678 per year, while wealthy families above $110,000 pay $21,084. Over four years, students typically spend between $58,700 and $84,300 depending on family income. The university keeps costs manageable in an expensive higher education landscape.

Graduates leave with $20,039 in median debt, translating to $212 monthly payments. With median earnings of $45,608 ten years after graduation, loan payments consume roughly 5.6% of income. The 48% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially after leaving. Only 25% of students take federal loans, indicating many families pay out of pocket or rely on other funding sources.

In-state students from lower-income families get the best financial deal here, especially those pursuing Idaho State's respected health sciences programs.
