The sticker price for most colleges and universities is just that: a suggested amount that you will pay for the upcoming academic year. In reality, few college students pay the full rate, with many able to reduce their costs through student aid, college scholarships and work programs. College money is typically not given directly to the student. Instead, those funds are usually credited against the total cost of a student’s education, including tuition, room and books.
