Find Out the Total Columbia College - Sonora Costs

How much does it cost to go to Columbia College?

On this page you'll get a better understanding of what college costs you'll actually have to pay out of pocket, which can vary widely based on where you live and your income level.

On this Page You'll Find:

  • Average Net Price for All
  • Average for Freshmen
  • Price Based on Income
  • Net Price Trend
  • How Does it Compare?

Why is Net Price Important?

Few students will pay the full advertised sticker price of Columbia College. 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 Columbia College including tuition, fees, room, board and other expenses. Then we subtract out the average amount of aid awarded per student.

Undergraduate Net Price Unknown

We wanted to talk about the net price for all undergraduates (not just freshmen), but that information was not available for Columbia College.

Average Net Price for First Year Students

96% of freshman students paid in-state tuition. Of these in-state students, 77% received an average of $5,048 in grants and scholarships. This resulted in an average annual net price of $18,386 for off-campus students.

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

Net Price by Aid GroupOn CampusOff CampusAt Home
224 Total Freshmen
51 (23%) did not receive any grants or scholarships. N/A$29,794$14,710
173 (77%) split a total of $865,692 for an average of $5,004 each N/A$24,790$9,706
216 In-State Students

167 (77%) split a total of $843,016 for an average of $5,048 each N/A$18,386$3,302

The above refers to grants and scholarships from the college and/or the state, federal or local governments. Other sources of grant aid such as private scholarships are not included.

Net College Cost Based on Income Level

Family income can have a large impact on the amount of aid you receive, and thus, your net price.

The table below shows the average net price freshmen paid based on income level. Note that if the school offers in-state tuition, the lower in-state tuition has been used in the calculation.

Net Price by Family Income LevelIn-State Net Price
0-30k$7,675
30k-48k$7,517
48k-75k$10,330
75k-110kN/A
110k +N/A

The above table only includes the calculated net price for students that received some form of Title IV aid.

What is Title IV?

Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 establishes general rules that apply to the student financial assistance programs covering grants and loans.
