Wentworth Institute of Technology Tuition, Costs & Financial Aid

In its 2025-26 Common Data Set, the university reported that need-based aid met an average 78% of need for first-year recipients in the 2025-26 academic year. Those recipients received an average need-based grant of $30,082 and an average aid package of $43,515, which can include loans and work where awarded.

Of 838 first-year students determined to have need, 258 had their need fully met. In the 2025-26 academic year, merit aid went to 262 first-year students, averaging $24,468.

For the average aid recipient, aid covers about 44% of the published cost. The $26,926 gap between sticker cost and average net price is substantial, while lower-income bands have lower average net prices than upper-income bands.

That pattern shows aid concentrated more heavily at lower family incomes, without describing any individual package.

The published cost of attendance at Wentworth Institute of Technology is $61,096 (an average across living arrangements), and its affordability standing is low. Average net price, what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships, is $27,018 in the low-income family-income band, $27,588 in the lower-middle band, $31,922 in the middle band, $35,769 in the upper-middle band, and $38,272 in the high-income band.

The spread between the lowest and highest bands is $11,254. Azimuth places the university in the 6th percentile for affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Aid covers about 44% of the published cost for the average aid recipient, a savings of $26,926. Across all aid recipients, the average net price is $34,170, alongside tuition and fees of $42,884 and room and board of $19,302.

The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $27,371; the university's average net price is $6,799 above that figure. Aid reduces the sticker price, but the average price remains above the peer median.

Among borrowers who completed, median federal student loan debt is $25,028, and 95.3% of federal aid recipients borrow federal loans. Comparable institutions (same type and size) have a peer median debt of $24,199, with the university's median $829 above it.

That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $284 a month if repaid over ten years. Median Parent PLUS borrowing for parent borrowers is $65,597.

Federal loans are part of the picture for 95.3% of federal aid recipients at Wentworth Institute of Technology. For comparable institutions (same type and size), the peer median federal debt is $24,199, and the university's median is $829 above it.

For the separate parent-borrower population, median Parent PLUS borrowing is $65,597. In its 2025-26 Common Data Set, the university reported that 84% of graduates borrowed from any source, with an average cumulative amount per borrower of $37,023.

Including 83% of graduates with federal loans, the average cumulative federal debt per federal borrower was $21,878. Of graduates, 27% had private loans, averaging $48,214 per private borrower.

The return picture begins with median earnings of $95,027 four years after completion at Wentworth Institute of Technology, in the 96th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions according to Azimuth. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, also ranks highly.

Graduates earn about $24,702 more than the model expects for similar students. Azimuth places that measure in the 98th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Earnings scenarios range from $74,914 in the downside case to $116,968 in the upside case, with $95,027 as the typical scenario. Median federal debt is $25,028, compared with $24,199 for comparable institutions (same type and size), or $829 above the peer median.

That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $284 a month if repaid over ten years. High earnings and a debt figure above the peer median point in different directions.

Parent borrowers, a population separate from student borrowers, show a median Parent PLUS debt of $65,597. Borrowers with the median federal student debt face an estimated payment of $284 a month if repaid over ten years.
