Cost Overview
Most Lincoln University families pay far less than the $21,842 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $9,052 annually after aid. The net price climbs to $10,454 for middle-income families ($30-48K) but jumps to $18,340 for those earning $48-75K. Over four years, costs range from $36,208 to $85,060 depending on family income.
Nearly half of students borrow money, graduating with a typical debt load of $28,875. That translates to monthly payments around $306 for ten years. With median earnings of $39,463 a decade after graduation, loan payments consume about 9% of typical graduate income. Only 33% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. The best deal goes to low-income students, who benefit from Lincoln's mission as Missouri's historically black public university and receive substantial need-based aid.
