what families actually pay

Cost

Sticker price is a fiction for most families — net price is what aided students pay after grants, by family income.

Families earning under $30k paid $5,609 per year after aid.

Dashed hollow marks are privacy-suppressed brackets — not zero. Band: middle half of public 2-years (all incomes).
