Cost Overview

Most Scripps families pay far less than the $85,232 sticker price. The average net cost drops to $38,802 after aid. Low-income families earning under $30,000 pay just $14,617 annually, while those making over $110,000 still get a discount at $51,165. Over four years, that ranges from $58,468 for the lowest earners to $204,660 for the highest. The college's generous endowment makes these steep discounts possible at this top women's institution.

Graduates leave with a manageable $13,500 in median debt, translating to monthly payments of $143. With median earnings hitting $77,539 ten years out, that debt payment represents less than 3% of income. The 92.36% loan repayment rate reflects strong post-graduation earning power. Wealthy families get solid value here, but low-income students score the best deal with nearly free access to a $63,434 education.
