Eugene, Oregon · Private Nonprofit · 80.0% acceptance rate
ROI Score: 22/100 · Below Benchmark
Data: 2024-25 College Scorecard release
New Hope Christian College-Eugene earns an overall ROI score of 22/100, placing it in the Below Benchmark band on CampusROI's framework. Tuition runs $17,620 with an average net price of $21,600 after aid. Median earnings ten years out are $31,115, producing a payback period that effectively never resolves (the model caps payback at 999 years when median earnings don't exceed the high-school baseline by enough to recoup cost). Median debt at graduation is $27,000. Note that net price ($21,600) actually exceeds in-state tuition ($17,620), which suggests fees, room and board, and limited grant aid are pushing the all-in cost above the headline tuition number. The component scores break down as earnings premium 4/100, completion 42/100, payback 7/100, debt-to-earnings 50/100, repayment 24/100. The lowest sub-score is earnings premium over a high-school baseline at 4/100, which is the main weight pulling the overall number down; the strongest sub-score is debt-to-earnings ratio at 50/100. Data points here come from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard (2024-2025 vintage), and Scorecard earnings carry a 6-10 year reporting lag, so the figures describe recent graduating cohorts rather than this year's incoming class.
How New Hope Christian College-Eugene scores under our methodology
These are the College Scorecard measures that pull this school's CampusROI score down. They describe the published figures, not the quality of the education, and they are our reading of the data. Check them against your own aid offer and intended major.
- ROI Score22/100 - Below Benchmark tier of our scale (below 45). For context, 38% of the schools we score reach 60 or higher.
- Payback period>50 years - In our estimate, the earnings premium over a high school completer is small next to the cost, so the cost may not be recouped within a working career.

The Full Financial Picture
The first number you'll see is the sticker price: $17,620/year, which covers tuition and fees only. The net price counts books, supplies, and average living costs on top of tuition and fees, then subtracts grants and scholarships. For the average student here it comes to $21,600/year, or roughly $86,400 over four years. That's the number to plan around.
What you actually pay depends a lot on what your family earns. Families making under $30,000/year pay an average of $20,109/year here, while families earning over $110,000 pay N/A/year.
Among graduates who borrowed, the median federal loan debt from this school is $27,000, which works out to about $286 a month on the standard 10-year repayment plan. We do not have the six-year earnings figure needed to work out a debt-to-earnings ratio for this school.

Cost by Income Bracket Explained
Lower-income families (under $30K)
Families earning under $30,000 pay an average net price of $20,109 per year here. With expected earnings around $31,115 a decade out, that's a difficult number - Pell, state grants, and any institutional aid are doing real work to make it accessible, but families should still model debt carefully across four years.
Middle-income families ($30K-$110K)
Middle-income families ($48,001-$75,000) face a net price of about $28,107 per year. These households typically get less Pell support and partial institutional aid, so the tuition bill is more directly felt. Whether the math works depends on the major: programs with stronger early earnings can absorb this cost; lower-paying majors will produce a longer payback period.
Higher-income families ($110K+)
