College Scorecard / IPEDS, most recent year. Family income is total household income; net price covers tuition, fees, room, board and supplies after grant aid, for students receiving federal aid.

Does the school pay you to attend?

Grant aid from the school's own funds — the discount off sticker, on top of any federal or state help.

12%
of first-years get a grant from the school
$3,651
average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 12% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $3,651. Most of what lowers the price here is federal or state money, not the school's own funds.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 149 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.
