Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $13,878 sticker price at Northern Maine Community College. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $6,369 net annually, while those from higher-income households ($110,000+) pay the full $15,581. A two-year degree here costs between $12,738 and $31,162 total.

The college keeps costs manageable through its rural location and focus on practical training programs. Graduates carry a median debt of just $10,825, translating to monthly payments of $115. That debt load looks reasonable against the $43,348 median earnings ten years out. The 95.2% employment rate suggests most students find work quickly after graduation.

Students from lower-income families get the best financial deal here. Nearly 42% receive Pell Grants, and the net price for families earning under $48,000 stays below $8,200 annually.
