| 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 | $13,261 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $17,573 |
| Over $75,000 | $22,875 |
Remember these are net prices — what families pay after gift aid, not before.
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 | $16,531 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $17,585 |
