How much a family pays depends heavily on income, because most aid is awarded on the basis of financial need.

|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $13,811 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $12,203 |
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 | $17,141 |
