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.

Average net price by family income, 2023–24 aid cohort

Families earning under $30k paid $10,020 per year after aid.

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