Monmouth University Tuition, Costs & Financial Aid

At Monmouth University, the published cost of attendance is $62,904 (an average across living arrangements), but the average aid recipient pays $30,988 after grants and scholarships. Aid covers about 51% of the published cost for the average aid recipient, a discount of $31,916.

The pattern across income bands shows that net prices are lowest for lower-income families. The average net price for aid recipients from families earning under $30,000 is $18,924, rising to $39,015 for those earning over $110,000, a spread of $20,091 between the two ends.

The middle bands sit between these figures, with families earning $30,001 to $48,000 averaging $19,404, those earning $48,001 to $75,000 averaging $25,331, and those earning $75,001 to $110,000 averaging $33,773. The sticker-to-net gap is substantial, and the resulting net prices remain above the peer benchmark for comparable institutions.

For aid recipients, Monmouth University presents a wide range of prices across family-income bands against a published cost of attendance of $62,904 (an average across living arrangements). The average net price, what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships, is $18,924 in the lowest family-income band; $19,404 in the next band; $25,331 in the middle band; $33,773 in the next-highest band; and $39,015 in the highest band.

The spread between the lowest and highest bands is $20,091. Azimuth ranks the university #1,290 for affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Aid covers about 51% of the published cost for the average aid recipient, an average savings of $31,916. Across all aid recipients, the average net price is $30,988, which is $3,617 above the peer median of $27,371 at comparable institutions (same type and size).

Published tuition and fees are $46,552. Aid offsets much of the sticker price on average, though the net price remains above the comparable-institution median.

Among federal student loan borrowers who complete, median debt is $27,000, and 93.8% of federal aid recipients take federal loans. That median is $2,801 above the peer median debt of $24,199 at comparable institutions (same type and size).

That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $307 a month if repaid over ten years. Among parent borrowers, median Parent PLUS borrowing is $49,390.

At Monmouth University, 93.8% of federal aid recipients take federal loans, so borrowing is a central part of the cost picture. For federal-loan borrowers who completed, median federal student loan debt is $27,000.

The peer median for comparable institutions (same type and size) is $24,199, with Monmouth's median $2,801 above that figure. For the separate parent-borrower population, median Parent PLUS borrowing is $49,390.

Monmouth University presents a mixed investment picture: earnings measures sit in stronger territory, while borrowing is above its peer benchmark. Four years after completion, federally aided completers working and not enrolled have median earnings of $68,968.

Azimuth places those earnings in the 74th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, offers another positive measure.

Graduates earn about $1,806 more than the model expects for similar students. Azimuth places that measure in the 61st percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Earnings scenarios range from $57,505 in the downside scenario to $83,227 in the upside scenario, with $68,968 as the typical scenario. Median federal student loan debt at completion is $27,000, compared with $24,199 at comparable institutions of the same type and size; it is $2,801 above the peer median.

That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $307 a month if repaid over ten years. The earnings measures and debt comparison point in different directions.

Parent borrowing adds a separate consideration alongside federal student loans. For parent borrowers, median Parent PLUS borrowing was $49,390.

The median federal student debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $307 a month if repaid over ten years.
