To gauge a more realistic picture of what it really could cost you out of pocket to go to Delaware Technical and Community College Terry, we've modeled a ten year student loan with an original principal value of $15,554. The loan balance of $15,554 is a two year multiple of the $7,777 average net price. This is a estimate of what you could owe upon graduation if you were to qualify for average financial aid and what a degree really may cost. Should you not qualify for financial aid, you may owe significantly more when you graduate. Based on these assumptions, a monthly repayment of $177 could be required to pay off your student loan.
