Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $49,165 sticker price at The College of Idaho. The average net cost drops to $20,566 after aid, with lower-income families paying as little as $15,367 annually. Families earning $30,000 to $48,000 pay around $18,437 per year, while those making over $110,000 still get relief at $25,125. Over four years, that translates to $82,264 for most students rather than the full $196,660.

Graduates typically leave with $24,500 in debt, meaning monthly payments of $260. That's manageable against median earnings of $48,473 ten years out, though new graduates start lower at $32,139. The college spreads $3.3 million in athletic scholarships across 520 student-athletes. With 96.2% of graduates finding employment and strong institutional aid averaging $23,878, middle-income families who qualify for merit aid often get the sweetest deal here.
