Cost Overview

Most families pay around $19,164 annually after aid, though costs vary dramatically by income. Families earning under $30,000 pay just $11,111 per year, while those making over $110,000 pay $24,020. Over four years, expect to spend between $44,444 and $96,080 depending on your family's finances.

The 89% acceptance rate means Keene State casts a wide net, but only 14% of students receive institutional grants averaging $9,087. Graduates typically owe $25,749, translating to $273 monthly payments for a decade. With median earnings of $54,368 ten years out, those payments consume about 6% of income. The 97.8% employment rate suggests strong job placement despite the modest 58% graduation rate.

Low-income students get the best deal here. The $11,111 net price for families under $30,000 makes this New Hampshire liberal arts education surprisingly affordable for those who need it most.
