Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $5,058 sticker price at North Seattle College. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $7,776 annually after aid, while those from households making $30,000-$48,000 pay even less at $7,002. Higher earners face steeper costs, with families making over $110,000 paying $16,377 per year.

Over four years, total costs range from roughly $28,000 for low-income students to $65,500 for wealthy families. Graduates carry a median debt of $15,458, translating to monthly payments of $164. That burden feels manageable given the strong employment rate of 95.4% and median earnings of $47,728 within ten years. Only 2.20% of students take federal loans, reflecting the school's affordability.

Working-class families in the $30,000-$48,000 range get the sweetest deal here, paying less than any other income bracket while accessing the same programs and transfer opportunities.
