Instead, they will be given a financial aid offer that will include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study.

How much a family pays depends heavily on income, because most aid is awarded on the basis of financial need.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $13,394 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $17,428 |
| Over $75,000 | $22,510 |
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.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $16,164 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $18,027 |
