## How much does Bay Path University cost after financial aid?

Bay Path University publishes a cost of attendance of $47,308, an average across living arrangements. Tuition and fees are $38,302, and room and board are $13,582.

For aid recipients, the average [net price](/analysis/is-college-worth-it-part-1-the-net-price-illusion/)—what families pay after grants and scholarships—drops to $14,271, a savings of $33,037 against the sticker total. That average net price sits below the peer median of $22,347 for comparable institutions (same type and size) by $8,076, a gap that reflects the university's heavy aid packaging.

Azimuth ranks the university #418 for affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions. That places the affordability pillar in the 70th percentile.

Azimuth places the affordability pillar for Bay Path University in the 70th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Average [net price](/analysis/is-college-worth-it-part-1-the-net-price-illusion/) reflects what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships.

That figure is $14,271, which is $8,076 below the median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Aid recipients in the lowest band average $11,948, and those in the highest average $25,475.

Borrowers who finish hold a median of $24,901 in federal loans, $99 below the median for comparable institutions.

Average [net price](/analysis/is-college-worth-it-part-1-the-net-price-illusion/)s by family-income band show a compressed structure that keeps costs low across most bands. For families earning under $30,000 the average net price is $11,948; for $30,001–$48,000 it is $12,251; for $48,001–$75,000 it is $12,698; for $75,001–$110,000 it is $17,528; and for families earning over $110,000 it is $25,475.

Pell Grant recipients make up 63.8% of undergraduates, providing context for the lowest band. The spread between the lowest and highest bands is $13,527.

Aid covers about 70% of the published cost for the average aid recipient, a discount of $33,037 against the sticker price. The pattern across income bands is compressed at the bottom: the lowest-income band averages $11,948, and the next two bands sit close behind at $12,251 and $12,698.

The highest band averages $25,475. That compression means the pricing structure is relatively flat for families earning under $75,000, with a sharper step up for those above.

The aid formula here narrows the gap between the lowest and middle bands more than it does at the top.

Aid covers about 70% of the published cost for the average aid recipient, an average savings of $33,037 against the sticker price. The average net price across all aid recipients is $14,271, which sits below the peer median of $22,347 for comparable institutions (same type and size) by $8,076.

Among federal-loan borrowers who completed, the median federal student debt is $24,901. That median is below the peer median of $25,000 for comparable institutions by $99, and 96.9% of federal aid recipients borrow federal loans.

For a graduate at the median four-year earnings of $62,912, that debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $283 a month if repaid over ten years. Parents who take out federal [Parent PLUS](/analysis/ou-what-happens-when-parents-borrow-too/) loans borrow a median of $16,500.

## Student loans: what does repayment look like?

Nearly every undergraduate at Bay Path University borrows federal loans—96.9% do—so debt is a shared experience here. Among those who complete a degree, the median federal student debt is $24,901.

That median sits below the $25,000 median at comparable institutions (same type and size) by $99, a narrow gap. Parent borrowers, a separate population, carry a median [Parent PLUS](/analysis/ou-what-happens-when-parents-borrow-too/) loan of $16,500.

Earnings at Bay Path University sit above the peer median, and borrowing comes in just below it. The two figures point the same way, and the gap between them is what a family weighs.

Four years after graduating, federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $62,912, at the 60th percentile nationally. That is $6,997 above the $55,915 median for comparable institutions (same type and size).

Earnings scenarios, estimated from the program mix, range from $46,076 in a downside case to $74,912 in an upside case. The typical outcome sits at $62,912.

On the borrowing side, the median federal student debt at completion is $24,901, which is $99 below the $25,000 peer median. That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $283 a month if repaid over ten years.

Median [Parent PLUS](/analysis/ou-what-happens-when-parents-borrow-too/) borrowing, a separate parent-borrower population, is $16,500. The estimated monthly student payment if repaid over ten years is $283.

How this estimate works

These are modeled earnings scenarios, not observed earnings percentiles. Annual student payments ÷ (earnings − basic-expense allowance). The starting allowance, $23,940, uses the published framework’s 2026 baseline; it is not a current local living-cost estimate. Change it for your budget, including taxes and other obligations. This combines school-level figures for illustration, not a typical individual’s budget or an official school rating. Parent PLUS is separate.

Payment assumptions

Payments are 10-year standard payments on the median balance, before loan fees, used as a yardstick. Rates for newly issued loans may differ, and loans made after July 1, 2026 can repay over a longer term; existing loans keep their original fixed rates.
