Statement by NAICU President David L. Warren on the 2007 College Board Tuition and Student Aid Reports

This year's average increase in private-college tuition and fees matches last year's rate of 6.3 percent.  Grant aid provided by private college and universities to undergraduates was an estimated $13.8 billion in 2006-07, an increase of 7.8 percent from the previous year. Because of our commitment to providing a quality education at the lowest possible out-of-pocket cost, this year's average net tuition (published price minus grants and tax benefits) for a student at a private college is 40 percent below the average published tuition -- $14,400 vs. $23,712.
