In-state tuition and fees are $8,752, and out-of-state tuition and fees are $15,822; room and board are $16,418. Among federal-loan borrowers who completed, median federal student loan debt at completion is $20,000, $1,229 below the $21,229 peer median for comparable institutions (same type and size).

90.8% of federal aid recipients borrow federal loans, and that debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $227 a month if repaid over ten years. Median Parent PLUS borrowing for parent borrowers is $16,353.

Student loans: what does repayment look like?

Federal borrowing is widespread at SUNY Brockport: 90.8% of federal aid recipients borrow federal loans. Among borrowers who complete, median federal student loan debt is $20,000.

At comparable institutions (same type and size), the peer median is $21,229, and the university’s median is below that figure by $1,229. Parent PLUS borrowers are a separate parent-borrower population, with median borrowing of $16,353.

The lower median debt coincides with federal borrowing being common among undergraduates.

The investment picture at SUNY Brockport is mixed. Graduates earn a median of $57,799 four years after completion, in the 43rd percentile nationally.

That is $498 above the $57,301 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). However, they earn about $8,553 less than expects for similar students, an outcome that falls in the 23rd percentile.

Earnings scenarios, estimated from the program mix, range from $45,792 in a downside case to $85,083 in an upside case, with a typical scenario of $57,799. On the borrowing side, the median federal student debt at completion is $20,000, which is $1,229 below the $21,229 peer median.

That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $227 a month if repaid over ten years. The return picture is mixed: earnings beat the peer median but fall short of the model's expectation.

Parent PLUS borrowers, a separate parent-borrower population, have median federal borrowing of $16,353. For student borrowers, that debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $227 a month if repaid over ten years.

How this estimate works

These are modeled earnings scenarios, not observed earnings percentiles. Annual student payments ÷ (earnings − basic-expense allowance). The starting allowance, $22,590, uses the published framework’s 2024 baseline; it is not a current local living-cost estimate. Change it for your budget, including taxes and other obligations. This combines school-level figures for illustration, not a typical individual’s budget or an official school rating. Parent PLUS is separate.

Payment assumptions

Payments are 10-year standard payments on the median balance, before loan fees, used as a yardstick. Rates for newly issued loans may differ, and loans made after July 1, 2026 can repay over a longer term; existing loans keep their original fixed rates.
