Cost Overview

Most Wabash families pay around $22,000 annually, far below the $63,675 sticker price. The all-male liberal arts college offers significant aid across income brackets. Families earning under $75,000 typically pay $15,000-16,000 per year. Middle-class families ($75,000-110,000) pay about $19,600 annually. Even wealthy families ($110,000+) pay roughly $30,000, still a substantial discount.

Over four years, most students face about $88,000 in total costs rather than the quarter-million sticker price. Graduates carry a median debt of $27,000, translating to $286 monthly payments. That's manageable against the $70,000 median earnings ten years post-graduation. The 71% loan repayment rate suggests most alumni handle their debt successfully.

Lower-income students get the best financial deal at this strong Indiana institution. The brotherhood network and strong alumni connections help justify the investment for families across all income levels.
