Why Net Cost Matters More Than Sticker Price
If you’re looking at college tuition and feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: most families don’t actually pay the full sticker price. The real number that matters is your net cost—what you’ll pay after financial aid is applied.

Sticker price is marketing. Net cost is reality.
A $75,000 college might end up costing you $30,000 after aid, while a $30,000 school may offer little to no aid. Without comparing net cost, families often make emotional decisions that cost them tens of thousands more than necessary.
At Diversified College Planning, we show families how to uncover the real price of college using tools and strategies most financial advisors and school counselors don’t talk about. We compare aid generosity across schools, model out financial scenarios, and help you build a list of colleges that are more likely to give your student money.
