|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $3,279 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $3,938 |
The numbers above are post-aid net prices, so they already account for grants and scholarships.
Net price is the cost remaining after grant and scholarship aid is subtracted from the sticker price, and it is the most useful single number for estimating real cost.
