FEDERAL COST DATA

Four ways to read college price.

Annual college-wide figures from the current College Scorecard release. Average net price covers full-time, first-time undergraduates receiving federal aid; public-college figures use in-state students. Program tuition and individual aid offers may differ.

What makes up the annual price?

Sticker-price components reported to IPEDS. Grants and scholarships are not subtracted here.

Tuition and required fees$7,724$9,284 for out-of-state students
Books and supplies$900Estimated academic-year allowance
On-campus housing and foodNot availableOther expenses not reported
Estimated on-campus total$8,624Sum of available published components, before aid

Living off campus: $7,648 housing and food allowance plus $3,840 in other expenses.

Do not confuse this with net price. Net price subtracts average grants and scholarships. DegreeVerdict continues to use the separately labeled average net price in its standard college ROI scenario.

PRICE SENSITIVITY

The price can change the verdict.

Hold observed earnings constant and see how the modeled ten-year payoff changes as annual price rises.

DUAL-ENROLLMENT CONTEXT · 2024

3 high-school students took college courses.

IPEDS counts students enrolled in college credit while still in high school. A large dual-enrollment population can shape headline enrollment figures, especially at community colleges.

This is participation, not a college completion rate. It does not indicate how many students later enrolled after high school, earned a credential or entered the workforce.

STATE PRICE CONTEXT · 2024

Prices in New Hampshire run 4% above the U.S. level.

BEA Regional Price Parities compare price levels across states. A value of 100 equals the national average.
