About Bend, Oregon

Bend is a city in Central Oregon and the county seat of Deschutes County, Oregon, United States. American Indian tribes hunted and fished in the area. In late 1824, members of a fur-trapping party led by Peter Skene Ogden visited the area. John C. Frémont, John Strong Newberry, and other United States Army survey parties came next. The Bend Park & Recreation District protects the parks, natural areas, recreational facilities, gardens, and trails of Bend. (Wikipedia)

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.

21%

of first-years get a grant from the school

$120

average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 21% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $120. Most of what lowers the price here is federal or state money, not the school's own funds.

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 120 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.

Is it worth it?

A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.

Median earnings (10 years): $20,551
Typical debt at graduation: $7,435
Debt vs. one year's pay: 36%
Out-earn a HS grad: 24%

Typical debt would take roughly 3.6 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.
