Siena Heights University Tuition, Costs & Financial Aid

Aid offsets a large share of Siena Heights' published cost for the average recipient, although the listed prices vary by family-income band. The difference between the sticker price and average net price is $27,325, representing the average reduction from grants and scholarships rather than a quoted price for any one family.

Aid covers about 61% of the published cost for the average aid recipient. The lowest listed net prices occur in the lower and lower-middle income bands; the middle and upper bands are higher, with the highest-income band not the most expensive listed.

That is a pattern in the published averages, not evidence of what any particular household will receive. The figures show aid concentrated in the overall price picture, with some variation rather than a uniform discount across incomes.

Siena Heights University posts a cost of attendance of $44,449, with aid-recipient prices clustered across its family-income bands. The average net price, what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships, is $15,624 for the lowest-income band, $15,145 for the lower-middle band, $17,260 for the middle band, $18,284 for the upper-middle band, and $17,857 for the highest-income band.

The spread between the lowest and highest bands is $2,233. Azimuth ranks the university #322 for affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions.

For the average aid recipient, aid covers about 61% of the published cost and offsets $27,325 against the sticker price. Across all aid recipients, the average net price is $17,124.

The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $22,347, and the university is $5,223 below it. Published tuition and fees are $30,778, so the aid offset and lower peer comparison point in the same direction.

Federal-loan borrowers who completed have median federal student loan debt of $18,750, and 92.3% of federal aid recipients borrow federal loans. The peer median debt at comparable institutions (same type and size) is $25,000, placing the university $6,250 below that figure.

Parent PLUS borrowers have median borrowing of $17,192. The median federal student debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $213 a month if repaid over ten years.

At Siena Heights University, federal borrowing is common, yet the median balance at completion sits below the comparable peer benchmark. 92.3% of federal aid recipients take federal loans.

For borrowers who completed, median federal student loan debt at completion is $18,750. At comparable institutions (same type and size), the peer median is $25,000.

The university’s median is $6,250 below that benchmark, so lower debt relative to peers coincides with a high federal borrowing share. Parents who borrowed through Parent PLUS are a separate parent-borrower population, with median borrowing of $17,192.

Affordability is the strongest pillar at Siena Heights University. Among federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled, the median four years after completion is $62,131, $6,216 above the median for comparable institutions (same type and size).

That earnings level sits in the 57th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Graduates earn about $359 less than the model expects for similar students, effectively at the expected level.

That outcome falls in the 53rd percentile. Earnings scenarios, estimated from the program mix, span from $47,069 in a downside case to $82,188 in an upside case, with $62,131 as the typical outcome.

Borrowers who finish carry a median of $18,750 in federal student loans, $6,250 below the $25,000 peer median. That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $213 a month if repaid over ten years.

The return picture is mixed: earnings land above the peer median but right at the level the model expects for similar students.

Among parent borrowers, median Parent PLUS borrowing is $17,192, a separate population from student federal-loan borrowers. The median federal debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $213 a month if repaid over ten years.
