Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $22,526 sticker price at Purdue Fort Wayne. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $6,813 per year after aid. The net price climbs gradually to $17,670 for families earning over $110,000. Over four years, costs range from about $27,000 to $71,000 depending on family income.

Only 23% of students take federal loans, keeping debt manageable. Graduates leave with a median debt of $21,500, translating to monthly payments of $228. That's reasonable given the median starting salary of $44,088 one year after graduation. The university primarily serves Indiana residents, with 88% of students staying in-state for the lower tuition rates.

Low-income students get the strongest value here. Federal Pell Grant recipients make up 23% of the student body and benefit from the most generous aid packages.
