Cost Overview

Most families pay around $10,753 annually after aid, though costs vary dramatically by income. Low-income families ($0-30K) pay $8,922 per year, while higher earners ($110K+) face $14,459. Over four years, expect total costs between $36,000 and $58,000.

Nearly 39% of students take federal loans, graduating with a median debt of $24,500. Monthly payments average $260, manageable against the typical $45,388 salary ten years out. Only 7% receive institutional grants averaging $4,789. The 96% employment rate helps with loan repayment, though just 47% successfully pay down their debt.

Working-class Ohio families get the strong value here. With 97% of students from in-state and over one-third receiving Pell Grants, this regional campus serves locals who need affordable access to a Kent State degree without the main campus price tag.
