Sticky Note
Net price is the full price of a student's education (tuition, room and board, books, transportation and incidentals) minus the financial aid and scholarships (but not loans) they receive. This is a national statistic that represents the actual cost students pay. This graph represents the change in net price for a Ferris student over this period grouped by family income. For our poorest students, those from families with incomes less than $30,000, the net price or actual price a student pays has decreased by 36%. For students from families with incomes between $30,000 and $48,000 this has declined by 28%. For families with incomes between $48,000 and $75,000 (median Michigan income is $52,000) this has decreased by 19.8%. Over this period the average net price for a Ferris student has declined by 9.7%. Contrast this with the average of the other 14 Michigan public universities, where net price has increased by 9.2%.

The continued decrease in continuing students reflects the cumulative effect of three plus years of declining new FTIAC and transfer students. An additional factor is the reduced time to graduation for our students. This is a promising and encouraged development, but does have financial impact.
