What is the cheapest college in Missouri?

By average net price after grant and scholarship aid, College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout is the least expensive four-year college in Missouri at $6,100 a year. 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 Missouri?

Usually, but not always. Among Missouri's 13 public colleges the median net price is $15,071 a year, against $21,786 across 38 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 Missouri?

Substantially. Across Missouri colleges the median net price is $16,198 a year for a family earning under $30,000 and $23,029 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.
