| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|

Because need-based aid scales with family income, what students actually pay differs sharply across income brackets.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $19,754 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $20,947 |
| Over $75,000 | $25,229 |
Each amount is the average cost remaining once grant aid is subtracted, by income band.
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 | $22,347 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $22,746 |
