| State/local grants | 17% | $4,128 |

| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |

Since aid is largely need-based, the real cost of attendance falls steeply for lower-income families.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $6,015 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $7,271 |
| Over $75,000 | $10,350 |
The numbers above are post-aid net prices, so they already account for grants and scholarships.
Net price is the average annual cost after grants and scholarships are subtracted from the published cost of attendance — the figure closest to what a typical aid-receiving student actually pays.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $6,182 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $6,565 |
