Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than Welch's $20,796 sticker price. Students from families earning under $48,000 get the best deal, paying just $13,190 to $17,437 per year after aid. Middle-income families earning $48,000 to $75,000 pay $17,584 annually. Wealthier families see smaller discounts, with those earning over $110,000 paying $24,365. Over four years, total costs range from $52,760 for low-income students to nearly $98,000 for high earners.

Graduates carry a manageable $19,500 in debt, translating to $207 monthly payments. With median earnings of $42,198 ten years out, loan payments consume about 6% of income. The 56% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially. Only 27% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating Welch serves fewer low-income families than typical colleges. Students from lower-income Free Will Baptist families get the strongest financial advantage here.
