Snead State Community College

Snead State Community College is a public two-year institution located in Boaz, Alabama, with an enrollment of approximately 1,427 students.

In-state tuition is $5,278 per year, and out-of-state tuition is $9,664 per year. The average annual net price — the total estimated cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied — is $3,249. This figure suggests that many students receive aid that substantially offsets their total costs. About 30.9% of students receive Pell Grants, a federal need-based award typically available to lower-income students.

Relatively few students take on federal loan debt at Snead State: only 10.1% of all enrolled students borrow federal loans. Among those who did complete a credential and borrowed, the median federal loan debt was $9,000. Of borrowers entering repayment, 35.3% were actively reducing their loan balance within three years — meaning a majority were not yet paying down principal, whether due to deferment, income-based repayment plans, or other factors.

Median earnings stand at $35,735 per year, measured approximately 10 years after enrollment. This figure covers all federally-aided students who enrolled at the school, including those who did not complete a credential, so it reflects a broad population rather than graduates alone.

Among the programs offered, Snead State includes training in fields such as Industrial Machinery Mechanics, which is relevant for adults pursuing technical and skilled trades careers.
