Cost Overview
Despite a sticker price over $30,000, most Southern Virginia families pay far less than advertised. Net costs range from $20,722 for families earning under $30,000 to $26,686 for those making over $110,000. Over four years, total costs span $82,888 to $106,744 depending on family income. The college keeps aid relatively flat across income brackets rather than offering steep discounts to lower-income students.
Graduates leave with a median debt of $24,224, translating to monthly payments around $257. With median earnings hitting $50,002 ten years out, loan payments consume about 6% of typical graduate income. The 46% loan repayment rate suggests many students struggle to keep up with payments despite moderate debt loads. Lower-income families get the strongest value proposition here, paying roughly $5,000 less annually than wealthy families while accessing the same LDS-affiliated liberal arts education.
