Cost Overview
Most families pay far less than the $18,024 sticker price at Mississippi Valley State University. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $11,034 after aid, while those from the highest-income families ($110,000+) actually pay even less at $10,335. Over four years, that means total costs range from about $41,000 to $44,000, making this one of the most affordable college options in the country. The same tuition rate applies whether you're from Mississippi or anywhere else.
Graduates typically leave with $28,413 in debt, which translates to monthly payments of $301. That's manageable compared to median earnings of $31,919 ten years after graduation, though only 36% of borrowers are successfully paying down their loans. Nearly 60% of students receive Pell Grants, and the school primarily serves students from lower-income families. The best deal goes to out-of-state students, who pay the same low rate as Mississippi residents.
