Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $23,676 sticker price at this historically black university. The average net price drops to $7,349 after aid. Families earning under $30,000 pay just $5,606 annually, while those making over $110,000 still pay only $13,684. Over four years, costs range from $22,424 to $54,736 depending on family income.

Three-quarters of students receive financial aid, with the same percentage qualifying for Pell Grants. Graduates typically leave with $26,468 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $281. That burden feels heavy against median earnings of $38,298 ten years after graduation. Only 36% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule.

Students from low-income families get the best financial deal here. The combination of generous need-based aid and affordable tuition makes Wilberforce accessible to families who might otherwise be priced out of higher education.
