Historical average net price for in-state aid recipients
Population: full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates at public institutions with standard academic calendars, paying in-state or in-district tuition and receiving federal, state/local or institutional grant or scholarship aid. Other grant sources are excluded.
Average net price subtracts average qualifying grant aid from a population cost of attendance that includes tuition, required fees, books and weighted living expenses. It is a historical cohort average in USD, not tuition alone, a personal aid offer or a verified international-student cost. Negative source values are retained; they do not promise a payment to you.
| Academic year | Average net price | Recipients | Average qualifying grant aid | Source flags |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-24 | $8,733 | 41 | $4,779 | Net price: R · Recipients: R · Grant aid: R |
| 2022-23 | $9,003 | 42 | $5,005 | Net price: R · Recipients: R · Grant aid: R |
| 2021-22 | $6,834 | 26 | $5,094 | Net price: R · Recipients: R · Grant aid: R |
Flags include R (reported), C (analyst corrected), P (carry-forward imputed), Z (implied zero) and other documented source codes. A blank amount is unavailable.
Published first-year retention
Connected EF part-D observations concern prior-fall first-time degree/certificate-seeking cohorts assessed a year later. NCES describes persistence or completion; four-year institutions' cohorts are bachelor-seeking. Entry study status remains the grouping even if a student later changes between full- and part-time.
| Entry cohort → assessment | Full-time source rate | Adjusted full-time cohort | Part-time source rate | Adjusted part-time cohort |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fall 2022 → 2023 | Not reported · A | 0 | 43% · R | 169 |
| Fall 2021 → 2022 | 60% · R | 93 | 43% · R | 169 |
| Fall 2020 → 2021 | 37% · R | 109 | 31% · R | 226 |
| Fall 2019 → 2020 | 40% · R | 88 | 26% · R | 294 |
| Fall 2018 → 2019 | 31% · R | 94 | 22% · R | 310 |
| Fall 2017 → 2018 | 30% · R | 77 | 29% · R | 222 |
Percentages are retained from the source rather than recalculated. R means reported; P means carried forward. Other source flags remain in the evidence. Missing rates remain unavailable and a published 0% remains zero. These are institution-level historical observations, not programme graduation rates, current service-quality rankings or individual predictions.
