Mercy University Tuition, Costs & Financial Aid

At Mercy University, aid covers about 57% of the published cost for the average aid recipient, a reduction of $18,524 from the sticker price. That is an average, not a guarantee, and the size of the discount shifts across family incomes.

Average net prices—what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships—range from $11,974 in the lowest income band to $21,299 in the highest, a spread of $9,325 between the two ends. The bands in between sit at $12,598, $15,056, and $17,725, a pattern where costs increase with income.

A student whose family earns under $30,000 faces an average net price that is less than half the published cost of attendance. A family in the top band pays about two-thirds of the sticker—still a substantial discount, but one that leaves a larger remaining bill.

The published cost of attendance at Mercy University is $32,596 (an average across living arrangements). Azimuth ranks the university #286 for affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions.

The average net price, what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships, is $11,974 in the lowest family-income band, $15,056 in the middle band, and $21,299 in the highest band. The spread between the lowest and highest bands is $9,325.

Tuition and fees are $22,880. Aid lowers the published cost by $18,524 for the average aid recipient, bringing the average net price for all aid recipients to $14,072.

That figure is $13,299 below the peer median of $27,371 for comparable institutions (same type and size). Borrowers who finish carry a median of $19,637 in federal student loans, $4,562 below the peer median of $24,199.

About 78.5% of federal aid recipients take federal loans. Parents who borrow hold a separate median of $20,710 in Parent PLUS loans.

If repaid over ten years, the median federal student debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $223 a month.

Federal borrowing is common at Mercy University, where 78.5% of federal aid recipients take federal loans. That makes the debt figures relevant to many students considering the published price.

Among federal-loan borrowers who complete, median federal student loan debt at completion is $19,637. Comparable institutions (same type and size) have a peer median federal debt of $24,199, with Mercy's median $4,562 below that figure.

For the separate parent-borrower population, median Parent PLUS borrowing is $20,710. The lower median relative to peers sits alongside widespread federal borrowing among undergraduates.

Mercy University shows lower borrowing than comparable institutions alongside a favorable modeled earnings measure. Federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $62,616 four years after completion.

Azimuth places that earnings measure in the 59th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, sits in the 76th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Graduates earn about $6,757 more than the model expects for similar students. The downside earnings scenario is $50,805, and the upside scenario is $115,813; the typical scenario matches the observed median.

Median federal student debt is $19,637, $4,562 below the peer median of $24,199 at comparable institutions (same type and size). That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $223 a month if repaid over ten years. Above-expected earnings and lower debt point in the same direction.

Among the separate population of Parent PLUS borrowers, median borrowing is $20,710. For borrowers with median federal student debt, that debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $223 a month if repaid over ten years.
