Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $24,572 sticker price at Shoreline Community College. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $8,661 annually, while those from households making $30,000-$48,000 pay even less at $8,042. Families earning over $110,000 face the highest costs at $18,258 per year. Over two years, total expenses range from $16,084 to $36,516 depending on family income. Only 4.39% of students take federal loans, and those who do graduate with a manageable $12,021 in debt.

That debt translates to $127 monthly payments, which is reasonable against median earnings of $52,009 ten years after graduation. The 48.45% loan repayment rate reflects the mixed outcomes typical of community colleges. Students from lower-income families get the best financial deal here, paying roughly one-third what wealthy families pay while accessing the same transfer programs to four-year universities.
