Notes: Figures include state tax appropriations, other state money and federal stimulus money. N. Dakota, OR, WA, & WYenact state appropriations every two years. Figures for NY include only state support for the City University of NY State

University of NY and student aid. These figures do not include appropriations for capital outlays and debt service, nor do they include appropriations from local governments. The data were collected from September to mid-January 2012 and may be subject to change. Percentages shown are rounded to one decimal. Different budgeting practices among the states make it

impossible to ensure that all figures are perfectly comparable.

Is College Worth It?

www.pewsocialtrends.org

College Expenses Average stated tuition and fees have roughly tripled since 1980-81, even after accounting for inflation. In 2010-11, the typical in-state full-time undergraduate was charged $7,605 in tuition and fees at public four-year colleges and universities (before grant aid), an increase from $2,119 in 1980-81 (all figures adjusted to 2010 dollars). Other colleges and universities have increased tuition and fees by similar orders of magnitude. Average tuition and fees at private colleges and universities increased from $9,535 in 1980-81 to $27,293 in 2010-11.

Notes: The amounts shown are the list or published tuition and fees, not what students actually pay. Most undergraduates receive grant aid. The  amounts  shown  are  the  “sticker  price”  and  do  not  account for grant aid. The College Board estimates them by weighting published tuition and fees by full-time undergraduate enrollment. They are deflated using the CPI.
