About Hannibal, Missouri

Hannibal is a city along the Mississippi River in Marion and Ralls counties in Missouri, United States. Hannibal is home to Osterhout Mounds Park, a preservation of ancient Indian burial mounds. The name comes from the local legend of two Native American lovers who were forbidden by their respective tribes to marry each other. (Wikipedia)

Est. total to a degree
$100,122

$20,681/year × about 4.8 years — most students here don't finish in exactly four, and each extra term adds cost. A planning estimate from net-price and graduation-timing data, not a bill.

Does the school pay you to attend?

Grant aid from the school's own funds — the discount off sticker, on top of any federal or state help.

average award, among those who get one

A meaningful share of freshmen — 64% — get grant money from Hannibal-LaGrange University itself, averaging $16,431, which softens the sticker price.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 53 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.

Is it worth it?

Typical debt would take roughly 4.4 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.

Solid value

A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.

The pay gap here

Men out-earn women by $8,464 (21%) a decade out.
