Cost Overview

Families at Oglethorpe pay an average net price of $21,735 annually, far below the $62,306 sticker price. Low-income families ($0-30K) pay just $17,338 per year, while high earners ($110K+) pay $24,561. Over four years, that ranges from roughly $69,000 to $98,000 total.

The school's generous aid comes from substantial institutional grants averaging $36,867 for recipients. About 67% of students take federal loans, graduating with a median debt of $25,000. That translates to monthly payments of $265, manageable against the $55,232 median earnings graduates achieve within 10 years. The 47% loan repayment rate suggests some struggle early on, when median earnings start at just $29,791.

Middle-class families in the $30-75K income range get the strongest value proposition here. They pay roughly $19,000 annually while accessing the same small classes and Atlanta opportunities as full-pay students.
