Cost Overview
Families at Sauk Valley pay between $6,156 and $13,854 annually depending on income, well below the $5,190 sticker price suggests. Low-income students get the best break at just over $6,000 per year. A two-year degree here costs $12,300 to $27,700 total.
The 51.5% graduation rate means many students transfer or leave before completing their programs. Those who do graduate carry minimal debt burden with median loans of $8,250. Monthly payments average just $87, easily manageable against typical earnings of $40,458 ten years out. The college serves a largely local population with 97.8% of students from Illinois.
Only 8.4% of students take federal loans, suggesting many pay as they go or rely on family support. Students from households earning under $48,000 get the strongest value proposition, paying roughly half what higher-income families spend.
