To gauge a more realistic picture of what it really could cost you out of pocket to go to College of Southern Idaho, we've modeled a ten year student loan with an original principal value of $15,152. The loan balance of $15,152 is a two year multiple of the $7,576 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 $172 could be required to pay off your student loan.
