Cost Overview
Families actually pay $25,766 on average after financial aid, far below the $74,800 sticker price. Low-income students pay around $15,000 annually, while families earning over $110,000 pay about $32,700. Over four years, that translates to $60,000 for lower-income families and $130,800 for wealthier ones.
Graduates typically leave with $26,500 in debt, resulting in monthly payments of $281. That's manageable against median earnings of $59,629 ten years out, representing just 5.7% of monthly income. The college meets financial need aggressively, with 31% of students receiving institutional grants averaging $41,737. Only 20% of students qualify for Pell Grants, reflecting the school's middle-class appeal.
Students from families earning under $75,000 get the best deal here. Wooster's generous aid transforms an expensive liberal arts education into something approaching state school pricing for those who need it most.
