Iona University's published cost of attendance is $60,247. Net price by income band shows meaningful variation: low-income families pay approximately $25,785, middle-income families pay around $28,601, and higher-income families pay approximately $32,295. Azimuth ranks Iona University #1254 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. Iona University meets demonstrated financial need through a combination of need-based scholarships, grants, and federal aid programs. Families apply using the FAFSA, and work-study is available as part of aid packages. The gap between published cost of attendance and net price reflects the institution's commitment to need-based aid, though the spread across income bands suggests that deeper aid reaches lower-income families more substantially than higher-income families. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $25,999, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $43,691; 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 $69,776, median federal debt of $25,999 projects to a monthly payment of about $294 under standard ten-year repayment.
