Lycoming College's published cost of attendance is $64,105. Net price by income band reveals how financial aid reshapes that headline figure: low-income families pay approximately $12,151, middle-income families pay around $15,883, and higher-income families pay approximately $26,233. Azimuth ranks Lycoming College #841 for post-graduation affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions. The affordability rank reflects both the sticker price and the debt load graduates carry, as net price and sticker price can differ substantially, though the gap varies by institution. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $27,000, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $31,827; 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 the typical graduate at the institution's median four-year earnings of $57,353, median federal debt of $27,000 projects to a monthly payment of about $305 under standard ten-year repayment. In a downside earnings scenario anchored on lower-earning program clusters, projected four-year earnings of $42,764 would shift the repayment picture meaningfully.
