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.

| 2023-24 | $11,783 | 258 | $7,188 | Net price: R · Recipients: R · Grant aid: R |
| 2022-23 | $13,467 | 221 | $6,228 | Net price: R · Recipients: R · Grant aid: R |
