Students Are Paying Less than the Published Price for College
The College Board just published its Trends in Higher Education Series. Here are a few highlights about college prices.

The average net price paid by full-time students at four-year public colleges in their home state is $2,700 - published tuition and fees is $5,836.pell grant.jpg

Students get $3,100 in grant aid and tax benefits covering about 24% of tuition fees, room and board.

The average net price paid by full-time students at private four-year colleges is abt. $13,200  - published price is $22,218.

Private college students get about $9,000 in grants and tax benefits which covers abt. 30% of tuition fees, room and boad.

Full-time students at two-year public colleges pay a net price of $100 - published price $2,272.

About $2,200 is received in grants and tax benefits...but it only covers about one-fourth of total tuition fee, housing and food costs.

60 percent of full-time two-year public college students and 56% of full-time public four-year college students from families with less than $30K income receive enough in grants and tax breaks to cover tuition and fees.

So...are you paying more or less than the published price?

Do grants and tax benefits make it easier for you?

What do you think?
