Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $19,256 sticker price at Peru State College. Low-income students pay just $9,266 annually, while those from families earning over $110,000 pay $15,079. Over four years, that ranges from $37,064 to $60,316 total. The flat $8,280 tuition rate for both in-state and out-of-state students makes this one of Nebraska's more accessible options.

Graduates typically leave with $21,875 in debt, translating to $232 monthly payments. With median earnings of $47,071 ten years out, loan payments consume about 6% of monthly income. The 55% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially post-graduation. Only 23% of students receive institutional grants averaging $8,215, while a third qualify for Pell Grants. First-generation college students and those seeking affordable teacher preparation programs get the strongest value proposition here.
