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

|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $19,178 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $20,880 |
| Over $75,000 | $24,092 |
Remember these are net prices — what families pay after gift aid, not before.
The net price strips out grant and scholarship aid from the sticker price to show roughly what families really pay.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $25,462 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $20,833 |
