Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than Shenandoah's $49,328 sticker price. The average net price is $30,055, but it varies dramatically by income. Families earning under $30,000 pay just $21,803 per year, while those making over $110,000 pay $34,304. Over four years, that means costs range from about $87,000 to $137,000 depending on your family's financial situation.

The typical graduate leaves with $25,000 in debt, which translates to monthly payments of $265. That's manageable compared to the median earnings of $58,433 ten years after graduation. Only 24% of students receive institutional grants, but when they do, the average award is $23,467. The best deal goes to lower-income students, who see their costs cut nearly in half through financial aid. Middle-class families often find themselves paying close to full price at small private schools like this one.
