Azimuth ranks Methodist University #1127 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. Methodist University participates in federal (Pell Grants, Direct Loans), state, and institutional aid programs. Families apply for need-based aid using the FAFSA, and work-study is available as part of the aid package. The affordability rank reflects both the headline sticker price and the debt load graduates carry: net price and sticker price can differ substantially, and understanding that gap is essential when comparing institutions. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $27,000, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $36,335; private or institutional loans may add further borrowing that falls outside these federal-only figures. For the typical graduate at Methodist University's median four-year earnings of $60,011, median federal debt of $27,000 projects to a monthly payment of about $305 under standard ten-year repayment.
