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 | $11,444 | 58 | $5,620 | Net price: R · Recipients: R · Grant aid: R |
| 2022-23 | $9,589 | 72 | $4,870 | Net price: R · Recipients: R · Grant aid: R |
| 2021-22 | $9,166 | 54 | $4,919 | 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 2023 → 2024 | 56% · R | 115 | 45% · R | 49 |
| Fall 2022 → 2023 | 54% · R | 120 | 46% · R | 50 |
| Fall 2021 → 2022 | 54% · R | 91 | 45% · R | 38 |
| Fall 2020 → 2021 | 55% · R | 115 | 33% · R | 42 |
| Fall 2019 → 2020 | 59% · R | 108 | 38% · R | 53 |
| Fall 2018 → 2019 | 65% · R | 156 | 44% · R | 90 |
| Fall 2017 → 2018 | 43% · R | 123 | 39% · R | 80 |
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.
