The big picture
Step 2 · Historical context
What this means: These figures show how a recent student cohort received help paying. They are not a personal aid estimate.
Historical IPEDS figures for the full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates cohort (2023-24); 234 students. Average amounts apply only to recipients of that aid category. Recipient groups may overlap, averages must not be added together, and this is not a personal financial-aid offer.

Cost data use dataset year 2026, while aid data describe academic year 2023-24. Use them as separate planning references rather than a same-year comparison.
Your actual price depends on official residency classification, household circumstances, enrollment, living arrangement, grants and scholarships, and the institution's final financial-aid offer.
Missing, unavailable, and privacy-suppressed values remain not reported; they are never converted to zero. Cost components describe reported institutional planning scenarios. Financial-aid figures are historical cohort averages and are not residency-specific or a personal estimate.
