Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $15,288 sticker price at Yakima Valley College. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $9,106 after aid, while those from higher-income households ($110,000+) pay the full $17,344. Over four years, costs range from $36,424 to $69,376 depending on family income. The college keeps expenses manageable with low tuition rates and modest room and board at $9,363.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $13,966, translating to monthly payments of $148. That's quite reasonable considering graduates earn a median of $43,499 ten years out. Only 7.84% of students take federal loans, reflecting the college's affordability. The best deal goes to local students from working families - 96% are Washington residents, and those earning under $48,000 pay roughly $9,400 annually for a credential that leads to solid middle-class earnings.
