Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay just $10,257 annually at UPR-Mayaguez, while those making over $110,000 pay $16,166. That's a four-year total ranging from $41,000 to $65,000 for an engineering degree. The modest spread reflects Puerto Rico's income levels and the university's mission as an affordable public option. Most graduates carry only $8,250 in debt, translating to $87 monthly payments that represent just 2% of the typical $48,992 starting salary.

Nearly two-thirds of students receive financial aid, with Pell Grant recipients making up the same percentage. The university awards institutional grants averaging $8,123 to less than 18% of students, focusing resources on the neediest families. Low-income Puerto Rican residents get the best deal here, accessing respected engineering programs for roughly half what they'd pay at mainland public universities while staying close to home where 97% of students are local residents.
