Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay just $7,922 annually at UNC Pembroke, while those making over $110,000 face the full $15,323 cost. The four-year total ranges from about $32,000 to $61,000. Only 48% of students take federal loans, keeping typical debt at $25,000.

That debt translates to $265 monthly payments after graduation. With median starting salaries around $35,600, loan payments consume about 9% of take-home pay. The 44% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially. UNC Pembroke's 92% in-state enrollment reflects its role serving rural North Carolina communities where college costs matter deeply.

Low-income families get the best deal here. The university's $6,737 average institutional grant helps bridge gaps, though only 12% of students receive these awards. For middle-class families seeking affordable teacher training or other programs, the modest out-of-state premium of just $4,000 makes this accessible beyond North Carolina.
