Aid covers about 68% of the published cost for the average aid recipient, an offset of $42,117 against the sticker price. The average [net price](/analysis/is-college-worth-it-part-1-the-net-price-illusion/) across all aid recipients is $20,161, and the lowest-income band—families earning under $30,000—averages $20,151, while families in the $30,001–$48,000 band average $27,212.

The pattern shows aid concentrated on families with lower incomes, with the lowest-band average sitting just slightly below the overall average. The sticker-to-net gap and the pricing across bands point the same way: the largest discounts flow to the lowest-income families.

The published cost of attendance at University of La Verne is $62,278, an average across living arrangements. Tuition and fees are $49,470.

## Student loans: what does repayment look like?

The return picture at University of La Verne is built on earnings that outpace the model's prediction, while borrowing sits close to the peer norm. Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $64,109, at the 63rd percentile nationally.

4.  High risk Over 20%

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.
