Cost Overview
Most Roosevelt families pay around $20,000 annually after aid, despite a sticker price of $37,000. Low-income students get the best deal at $15,863 per year, while wealthy families pay the full $30,033. Over four years, expect to spend between $63,500 and $120,000 depending on your family's finances. Nearly half of students qualify for Pell Grants, reflecting Roosevelt's commitment to serving working-class Chicago families.
Graduates leave with $22,000 in typical debt, translating to $233 monthly payments. That burden becomes manageable given the 94% employment rate and $48,712 median earnings after ten years. The university targets students who need financial support but want a downtown Chicago education. First-generation college students and those passionate about social justice or performing arts find Roosevelt's aid packages particularly generous compared to other private Chicago universities.
