Azimuth ranks Thomas University #437 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. Thomas University structures aid through need-based grants and federal loan programs. Families apply for financial aid using the FAFSA, and the university works to meet demonstrated financial need through a combination of institutional grants, federal aid, and student loans. The difference between published cost of attendance and net price reflects the financial aid the institution awards to students in each income band. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $21,198, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $10,000; 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 $63,556, median federal debt of $21,198 projects to a monthly payment of about $240 under standard ten-year repayment.
