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

|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $24,654 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $26,081 |
| Over $75,000 | $31,288 |
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 |
|---|---|
