College Scorecard (latest.cost.net_price.private.by_income_level.*), 2024

Estimate what your family would pay

Every school is required to publish a net price calculator. It asks about your family's finances and returns an estimate for you specifically, which is worth more than any average on this page. Your school counselor and the college's financial aid office can also help.

Scholarships and merit aid

Redlands reports that the large majority of incoming students receive institutional grants or scholarships, resulting in an average net price well below the sticker price; families should use the net price calculator for a personalized estimate.
