Cost Overview

Most Providence College families pay far less than the $79,148 sticker price. Net costs range from $23,408 for middle-class families earning $30-48K to $53,195 for those making over $110K. Over four years, that translates to $94,000-$213,000 total. The Catholic institution keeps aid relatively modest, with only 20% receiving institutional grants averaging $29,929.

Graduates typically leave with $27,000 in debt, resulting in monthly payments around $286. With median earnings of $87,054 after ten years, that payment represents just 4% of monthly income. The 97% employment rate helps explain why 79% successfully repay their loans.

Families earning $30-75K get the sweetest deal here, paying roughly $24,000 annually while accessing the same Friar network and Big East athletics as full-pay students.
