Source: U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard, 2024 data release. Sticker price is the college's cost of attendance (the published figure, or the sum of its published components). Net price is the average paid by students who received federal aid, grouped by household income. Averages from past students — your family's cost could be higher or lower.

The FAFSA works from your adjusted gross income and turns it into the SAI. The income bracket you see is not where you'd land.
Find out how to maximize your savings. $15 to potentially save tens of thousands over four years? It's worth the look.
Families like yours leave thousands in free aid on the table — see what you’re missing.
These numbers are the diagnosis. Knowing what to do about your number — which strategies could lower it, which scholarships fit your student, what to say in an appeal — is the work families pay a private college consultant thousands of dollars for. It’s what My School Advisor is for.
A Premium subscription covers the whole aid side: scholarships matched to your student’s real experiences instead of a generic list, what-if strategies with the dollar impact of each one before you file, and the language to use when you appeal an offer. At $15 a month it barely registers against a consultant’s bill — and it isn’t a replacement for one. Hire an advisor if you want; you’ll walk in already knowing your number and which scholarships fit.
