Why is Net Price Important?

Few students will pay the full advertised sticker price of Boise State University. The Net Price is an estimate of how much the average student actually pays to attend college for one year.

To calculate this number we take the total cost of attendance of Boise State University including tuition, fees, room, board and other expenses. Then we subtract out the average amount of aid awarded per student.

What is the Average Net Price for All Boise State University Undergrads?

The average student will pay a total net price of $20,446.

Two important factors that affect the net price you will pay to attend Boise State University are where you will be living, either on-campus or off, and whether or not you will be receiving any grants or scholarships.

$20,446 is the average net price across all students. Your price may differ depending on your family income level.

The average net price of $20,446 is based on estimates from 2019. This number represents the overall average net price of all in-state undergraduate students, including those that did not receive any financial aid.

Average Net Price for First Year Students

54% of freshman students paid in-state tuition. Of these in-state students, 54% received an average of $7,557 in grants and scholarships. This resulted in an average annual net price of $16,743 for on-campus students.

The following table explores the likelihood that you too will receive some common price-reducing aid, based on percentages.
