Cost context
Where Warren Wilson College sits on price and outcomes
At $21,249, Warren Wilson College's reported average net price is cheaper than 76% among 145 North Carolina colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $14,086.
- $21,249
- average net price
- $14,086
- North Carolina median
- 1.1×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $14,416
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $13,566, while those above $110,000 record $27,982 - roughly 2.1 times as much. A published average of $21,249 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median earnings six years after entry ($27,723) are less than 1.3 years of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling.
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.
