Cost Overview

Families typically pay around $8,838 per year after financial aid kicks in. The actual cost stays remarkably consistent across income brackets, ranging from $8,621 for middle-income families to $9,655 for those earning $48-75K annually. Over two years, students invest roughly $17,676 in their education.

The school keeps costs manageable through Virginia's community college system. Nearly half of students qualify for Pell Grants, reflecting the institution's mission to serve working-class Appalachian families. With 92.89% of students coming from Virginia, residents benefit from the lower in-state rate structure. The Flying Eagles maintain 13 varsity sports programs with $350,078 in athletic scholarships spread across 125 student-athletes.

Students earning around $39,624 five years after graduation can reasonably manage these education costs. The best deal goes to local Virginia residents from families earning under $48K, who pay the lowest net prices while accessing career training programs designed for the regional economy.
