About CollegeNPC

CollegeNPC.com exists because the price colleges publish and the price students pay are different numbers, and the real one is buried in federal datasets most families never see. We surface it: average net price by household income for every U.S. college that reports it, straight from U.S. Department of Education data.

The site is owned and operated by Hot Key Media LLC. We are not a school, not a lender, and not affiliated with any institution listed here. Every figure carries its dataset, survey year, and retrieval date, and the full method is documented on the methodology page.

When you click or request information through partner program listings on this site, we may be compensated. That relationship is described plainly on the advertising disclosure page and never changes the data.
