Costs & aid
A "full ride" is stacked: athletic scholarship plus institutional grants. The net price shows how much the school actually chips in (US College Scorecard).

- $8,630
- Avg. net price (after grants)
- $13,315
- Total cost / year

Covers an average of 33% of costs through grants and scholarships. That matters for international students too, since US federal aid like Pell does not apply to them.
