How we worked these out
The family
A family of four with $500 a month to put toward college, and the savings you pick. In state, the grants are what University of Jamestown reports families at that income got, on average. Your own will differ, and a family with no aid pays close to the full price.
What the order saves
The difference, over four years, between paying in the order that costs least and the usual way: savings first, then loans for the rest. It counts loan interest and the federal tax credit.
The prices by income
- They describe students who got aid.
- “Over $110,000” has no upper limit, so it averages families just over $110,000 with far wealthier ones. A family at $115,000 should expect to pay less than it shows.
- Each range is reported on its own, so the prices do not always rise with income.
Grants from the college
How many first-year students got a grant or scholarship from University of Jamestown, and the average, are the Department of Education's figures for full-time students who started college in 2023-24. They cover every income. The prices after grants already count these grants, so don't take them off again. The Department of Education's page for University of Jamestown →
Where the prices come from
Where the prices come from: University of Jamestown's own 2026-27 tuition, fees, housing, food and books, from its website, carried forward to 2027 at 4.0% a year. The grants are the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard (2024-25 figures), carried forward the same way. Each price after grants is the cost less those grants. The average price after grants counts the students who get federal aid. Your own figure will be different.
