Low-income families earning under $30,000 pay around $4,542 annually, while higher-earning families still get substantial relief. Even families making over $110,000 pay only $9,976 per year.

Students typically earn $22,607 in their first year after graduation, rising to $31,853 after a decade. The seminary model prioritizes religious education over high salaries.
