  • Each row sits exactly at a minimum the college published. Estimates use the single largest award at that bar: these awards don’t add together here.
  • Four-year figures are the 2026⁠–⁠27 published price times four. Colleges usually raise prices each year.
  • Four-year figures also assume the award is renewed every year: check its renewal terms below.
  • An award with a test-score minimum needs that score sent: a test-optional application doesn’t qualify for it.

How to read this page

These are estimates built from Sample State University’s own published numbers, not a promise of what the college will offer. Every figure links to the page it came from, with the date we last checked it. If one doesn’t match its source, use “Report a problem” beside it: that’s what our data bounty is for.
