Cost Overview
Most Santa Clara families pay around $51,000 annually after aid, not the $79,164 sticker price. Net costs vary dramatically by income: families earning under $30,000 pay $36,094, while those making $75,000-$110,000 get the best deal at $30,672. The Silicon Valley location drives up living costs, but Jesuit values keep aid flowing to middle-class families. Over four years, expect to spend roughly $200,000-$240,000 total.
Graduates leave with a median debt of $19,162, creating monthly payments around $203. That's manageable against median starting salaries of $72,660, which jump to $109,183 after a decade in tech-heavy careers. The 88% loan repayment rate shows most Broncos handle their debt well. Upper-middle-class families earning $75,000-$110,000 score the sweetest financial deal here, paying less than lower-income brackets due to Santa Clara's generous institutional aid formula.
