Usually, but not always. Among Utah's 3 public colleges the median net price is $14,936 a year, against $27,094 across 9 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 Utah?
Substantially. Across Utah colleges the median net price is $18,399 a year for a family earning under $30,000 and $28,227 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.
