Need-based aid means lower-income families typically pay far less than the sticker price suggests.

|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $3,495 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $2,829 |
| Over $75,000 | $8,992 |
These figures reflect what title-IV aid recipients pay after grant and scholarship aid is applied.

| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $2,576 |
