Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than Livingstone's $26,390 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay about $16,621 after aid, while those from middle-class families ($30,000-$48,000) get the best deal at just $11,018 per year. That works out to $44,000-$66,000 for four years, assuming you graduate on time. With 84% of students receiving Pell grants, this HBCU clearly serves working-class families who need serious financial help.

The debt picture tells a tougher story. Graduates typically owe $31,125 and face monthly payments of $330. With median earnings of $32,600 after ten years, those loan payments eat up 12% of take-home pay. The 16% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle to keep up. Students from lower-income families get the strongest financial aid packages here, making Livingstone most affordable for those who need college access the most.
