What's the Bottom Line?
This chart shows the net cost of attending the private and public colleges that have made detailed “no-loan” or “low-loan” pledges to date, for families with various incomes. The net cost reflects how much students and parents must contribute from sources including income, savings, loans, and work. For a full explanation and analysis of net cost of attendance, see our Comparison and Analysis of Financial Aid Pledges. For more information on the pledges themselves, click on the titles of the institutions below, or see the full list.
Clicking once or twice on the income amounts at the top of each column will sort that column in ascending or descending order.
