Molloy University's published cost of attendance is $50,720, but need-based aid reshapes that figure meaningfully across income levels. Low-income families pay approximately $17,548 per year in net price, middle-income families see annual costs around $22,739, and higher-income families pay approximately $30,144. Azimuth ranks Molloy University #1124 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. Molloy University participates in federal, state, and institutional aid programs, and families apply for need-based aid using the FAFSA. The net price illusion is worth keeping in mind here: the published sticker price and the net price a family actually pays can differ substantially depending on household income and the depth of institutional grant support. For students entering health-focused programs — Molloy's dominant field — strong post-graduation earnings in nursing and allied health disciplines can improve the long-run picture even when upfront costs are meaningful. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $27,000, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $39,248; 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 $96,058, median federal debt of $27,000 projects to a monthly payment of about $305 under standard ten-year repayment.
