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

|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $7,154 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $6,587 |
The numbers above are post-aid net prices, so they already account for grants and scholarships.
After grants and scholarships come off the published price, what remains is the net price — the best estimate of true out-of-pocket cost.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $3,136 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $7,625 |
