Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $10,000 sticker price at Pearl River Community College. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $3,236 after aid, while those from households making over $110,000 pay $9,040. The typical student graduates with $9,750 in debt, leading to monthly payments of $103. That represents a manageable burden given graduates earn a median of $33,019 within ten years.

A two-year degree here costs between $6,472 and $18,080 total, depending on family income. Nearly half of students receive Pell Grants, reflecting the college's role serving working-class Mississippi families. The employment rate hits 94.2%, showing strong job placement. Low-income students get the best financial deal, paying roughly one-third of what wealthy families pay while accessing the same career training programs that lead to steady employment in the rural South.
