Sticker price vs net price at private colleges
Private colleges publish a single tuition for all students and rarely charge it in full: most award institutional grants and scholarships that lower the net price, sometimes well below a public out-of-state rate. Use each college's net price calculator and compare net price and outcomes, not the sticker figure, before ruling a private college out on cost. To see how those figures behave nationally, our cost and outcomes by state research reports the median net price, graduation rate, and earnings for each state.
