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

|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $30,431 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $31,691 |
| Over $75,000 | $34,950 |
Remember these are net prices — what families pay after gift aid, not before.
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 | $34,423 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $30,525 |
