Vol State keeps debt remarkably low at $7,550 median, translating to just $80 monthly payments after graduation. Graduates earn $36,410 in their first year, making that $80 payment very manageable compared to typical four-year college debt burdens. The college awards institutional grants averaging $5,372 to about 27% of students. Only 6% of students need federal loans.
Middle-income families earning $30,000 to $75,000 get the best deal here, paying roughly the same as lower-income students while avoiding the premium that wealthier families face.
