What is sticker price?
Sticker price is the gross cost of tuition charged to students. Sticker price does not reflect the reduced net price that many students actually pay as a result of financial aid, grants and scholarships. For example, the in-state undergraduate sticker price tuition at Miami University is $21,410 in FY 2006. However, the average net tuition price that most Miami undergraduates pay is actually $9,542 because Miami gives all in-state undergraduates at least two forms of financial aid.
