NET PRICE

BEWARE OF STICKER SHOCK

"It is the net price — the price after taking grant aid (and federal education tax credits and deductions) into consideration — that determines the institution’s tuition revenues and also represents the amount that students pay."

IT'S WHY THE COLLEGE SEARCH IS LIKE HOLIDAY SHOPPING
Photo by ehamberg

"Data gathered from 401 private, nonprofit four-year colleges and universities participating in the 2013 NACUBO Tuition Discounting Study (TDS) indicate the tuition discount rate for first-time, full-time freshmen grew slightly to 44.8 percent in the 2012-13 academic year and is estimated to reach 46.4 percent in 2013-14. The figures represent a continual upswing in
tuition discount rate and are the highest recorded in the history of the study."
