What is the cheapest college in Florida?

Net price is the total cost of attendance minus aid that does not need to be repaid, for students receiving federal aid. What a specific family pays varies by household income.
Are public colleges cheaper than private colleges in Florida?
Usually, but not always. Among Florida's 13 public colleges the median net price is $9,812 a year, against $26,312 across 49 private colleges. Private schools often discount heavily through grant aid, so a private college can cost a specific family less than a public one despite a far higher sticker price.
Does household income change what college costs in Florida?
Substantially. Across Florida colleges the median net price is $19,965 a year for a family earning under $30,000 and $29,396 for one earning over $110,000, at the same schools. The average price a college publishes blends every income level together, so it may be far from what any particular family pays.
