Azimuth ranks Hilbert College #883 for post-graduation affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions. Net prices by income band are medians within those bands; individual aid packages vary, so some families in each band pay more and some less than the figures shown. Hilbert College structures financial aid through need-based and merit-based components. Families apply for need-based aid using the FAFSA, and the institution participates in federal (Pell Grants, Direct Loans) and institutional aid programs. Merit scholarships are available for qualifying students, and work-study is offered as part of the aid package. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $24,750, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $24,746; private or institutional loans may add further borrowing that falls outside these federal-only figures — see the Parent PLUS risk framework for how household context shapes PLUS decisions. For a graduate at the institution's median four-year earnings of $53,063, median federal debt of $24,750 projects to a monthly payment of about $280 under standard ten-year repayment.
