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 Indiana?
Substantially. Across Indiana colleges the median net price is $14,451 a year for a family earning under $30,000 and $26,151 for one earning over $110,000, at the same schools.
