Cost Overview

Families at Tuskegee pay between $31,858 and $34,215 annually depending on income, with the lowest-earning families getting minimal breaks on the $35,096 total cost. Over four years, expect to spend roughly $130,000 to $140,000. The university distributes just $6,328 in average institutional grants to 23% of students, leaving most families to cover nearly the full price.

Graduates carry a median debt of $27,000, translating to $286 monthly payments for a decade. With alumni earning a median $49,641 ten years out, those loan payments consume about 7% of gross income. Nearly 62% of students take federal loans, and only half are successfully repaying them. The 95% employment rate helps graduates find work, but starting salaries around $46,117 make the debt burden substantial.

Students from the lowest-income families get the best financial deal, though the savings remain modest at this historically black institution known for engineering and veterinary programs.
