Cost Overview
Most families at South Puget Sound Community College pay far less than the $5,103 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $8,414 annually, while those from wealthier families earning over $110,000 pay $16,913. The average net price sits at $9,090 across all income levels. Over two years, total costs range from $16,828 to $33,826 depending on family income.
Graduates who borrow money owe a manageable $11,000 median debt, translating to monthly payments of $117. With median earnings reaching $45,039 ten years after graduation, that payment represents less than 3% of monthly income. Only 6.78% of students take federal loans, reflecting the college's affordability and the fact that 97.40% are Washington residents paying in-state rates.
Low-income students get the best financial deal here, paying roughly half what wealthier families pay while accessing the same workforce training programs that lead to steady employment.
