Total 4-year cost is approximately $150,280 for in-state students and $283,928 for out-of-state students, before financial aid. This includes tuition, room & board, and other expenses. The actual net price after scholarships, grants, and family contributions is usually substantially lower.
Federal Pell Grants up to ~$7,395/yr for eligible students, Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans, state grants, and institutional need-based aid. Use the calculator to model your specific scenario based on your FAFSA award letter.
The biggest levers are scholarships and grants (free money), savings, family contributions, and student work-study. Federal subsidized loans are next-best because the government pays the interest while you're enrolled.
