|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $6,408 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $6,581 |
| Over $75,000 | $10,069 |
Each amount is the average cost remaining once grant aid is subtracted, by income band.
The net price represents the average annual cost a title-IV-receiving student pays after grant aid is subtracted from the full cost of attendance.
