by our College Data Analytics TeamThe majority of students will not be asked to pay the full, advertised sticker price of a school. Instead, they will be given a financial aid offer that will include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study.

| 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 | $18,226 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $24,471 |
| Over $75,000 | $30,259 |
Remember these are net prices — what families pay after gift aid, not before.
Net price is the average annual cost after grants and scholarships are subtracted from the published cost of attendance — the figure closest to what a typical aid-receiving student actually pays.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $37,408 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $27,313 |
