Average Annual Net Price

After Federal, State and Institutional Grants and Scholarships*

Below are the average annual net costs for students after subtracting federal, state and institutional grants and scholarships. You do NOT need to pay back grants and scholarships after you graduate. Your cost for living on campus or living at home is shown based on income levels.

_{*Average net price is generated using the same methodology as used by Federal IPEDS but separates on-campus and off-campus (with family) as opposed to the weighted average. It is calculated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state/local government, or institutional grant or scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, room and board and other expenses (as applicable). Average net price is calculated for first-time full-time students, who completed required financial aid applications such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and were awarded federal, state/local government, or institutional grants or scholarships. Fees do not include one-time Orientation Fee.}
