Cost context
Where Fort Scott Community College sits on price and outcomes
At $5,586, Fort Scott Community College's reported average net price is cheaper than 6% among 72 Kansas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,313.
- $5,586
- average net price
- $15,313
- Kansas median
- 3.2×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $6,276
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $3,140, while those above $110,000 record $9,416 - roughly 3.0 times as much. A published average of $5,586 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $30,641 - about 5.5 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 34% complete within six years. Most students here do not finish, which is the single most important number on this page for anyone weighing the cost.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
