Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state/local government, or institutional grant or scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, and the w eighted average for room and board and other expenses. Beginning students are those w ho are entering postsecondary education for the first time. Title IV aid to students includes grant aid, w ork study aid, and loan aid. These include: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant (National SMART Grant), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant, Federal Work-Study, Federal Perkins Loan, Subsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford Loan, and Unsubsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford Loan. For those Title IV recipients, net price is reported by income category and includes students w ho received federal aid even if none of that aid w as provided in the form of grants. While Title IV status defines the cohort of student for w hich the data are reported, the definition of net price remains the same – total cost of attendance minus grant aid.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state/local government, or institutional grant or scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, and the w eighted average for room and board and other expenses. Beginning students are those w ho are entering postsecondary education for the first time. Title IV aid to students includes grant aid, w ork study aid, and loan aid. These include: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant (National SMART Grant), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant, Federal Work-Study, Federal Perkins Loan, Subsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford Loan, and Unsubsidized Direct or FFEL Stafford Loan. For those Title IV recipients, net price is reported by income category and includes students w ho received federal aid even if none of that aid w as provided in the form of grants. While Title IV status defines the cohort of student for w hich the data are reported, the definition of net price remains the same – total cost of attendance minus grant aid.
