by our College Data Analytics TeamA large number of students are not billed the full sticker price of a school. Rather, they are offered a financial aid plan that includes a mix of loans, grants, scholarships, and possibly work-study opportunities. The total price of attendance at Capstone College can feel tremendous, but do not forget that almost all students receive some sort of financial help.

Among first-time, full-time freshmen at Capstone College, 71% of first-year full-time students received aid of some kind roughly 47 first-years).

| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|

Since aid is largely need-based, the real cost of attendance falls steeply for lower-income families.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $16,941 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $18,539 |
| Over $75,000 | $19,963 |
Remember these are net prices — what families pay after gift aid, not before.
Net price is the cost remaining after grant and scholarship aid is subtracted from the sticker price, and it is the most useful single number for estimating real cost.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $16,012 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $14,683 |
