With college costs soaring, here's how American families are paying for school
Few purchases deliver a dose of sticker shock like the cost of college. Yet many families rarely pay the full amount.; at four-year, in-state public colleges, it was $10,230, according to the College Board. And that's not even adding in room and board or other expenses.
Your net price is a college's tuition and fees minus grants, scholarships and education tax benefits, according to the College Board. "Very few families — only 10% — paid for the entire cost of college out of pocket, everyone else is either borrowing or using a combination of resources," said Marie O'Malley, the senior director of consumer research at Sallie Mae. "Most people are cobbling together resources."
