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 Georgia?

Usually, but not always. Among Georgia's 21 public colleges the median net price is $12,116 a year, against $22,585 across 33 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 Georgia?

Substantially. Across Georgia colleges the median net price is $15,929 a year for a family earning under $30,000 and $22,055 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.
