| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |

| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $23,202 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $27,738 |
| Over $75,000 | $31,097 |
Each amount is the average cost remaining once grant aid is subtracted, by income band.
The net price strips out grant and scholarship aid from the sticker price to show roughly what families really pay.
