Cost Overview
Most Sacred Heart families pay around $45,000 annually after aid, despite the $68,000 sticker price. Lower-income students ($0-30K) pay about $37,000, while wealthy families ($110K+) still pay $47,000. Over four years, expect total costs between $149,000 and $189,000.
The typical graduate leaves with $25,000 in debt. That translates to monthly payments of $265, manageable against median starting salaries of $56,000. Within a decade, graduates earn $75,000, making the investment worthwhile for most.
Only 15% of students receive need-based federal aid, reflecting the school's affluent student body. Just 22% come from Connecticut, drawing wealthy out-of-state families willing to pay premium prices. The best financial deals go to high-achieving students from middle-income families who qualify for the school's institutional grants averaging $19,500.
