Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $10,360 sticker price at Northwest Mississippi Community College. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $6,140 annually after aid, while those from higher-income families ($110,000+) pay nearly the full cost at $10,097. The typical student graduates with $6,500 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $69.

This debt load is remarkably manageable compared to graduates' earning potential. With median earnings hitting $32,587 in the first year after graduation, those monthly loan payments represent just 2.5% of gross income. A two-year program costs between $12,280 and $20,194 total depending on family income. Nearly all students are Mississippi residents who benefit from lower in-state rates.

Low-income students get the best financial deal here, paying roughly half what wealthy families pay while accessing the same career training programs.
