Cost Overview
Most Kean families pay far less than the $31,218 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $6,593 annually after aid. The net price climbs steadily with income, reaching $21,514 for families making over $110,000. Over four years, costs range from about $26,400 to $86,000 depending on family finances.
Graduates leave with a median debt of $23,250, translating to monthly payments of $246. That payment represents roughly 5% of the typical graduate's $57,237 salary ten years out, making the debt load manageable. Nearly half of students receive Pell Grants, reflecting Kean's mission to serve working-class New Jersey families. Only 12% get institutional grants, but those who do receive an average of $13,392.
Low-income students get the best financial deal here, paying less than many community colleges while earning a four-year degree.
