Federal reporting on who actually enrolls at Arkansas State, what they paid after aid, and what happened next — independent of anything the school markets.
| Family income | Average net price paid |
|---|---|
| $0–$30,000 | $10,098 |
| $30,001–$48,000 | $9,255 |
| $48,001–$75,000 | $12,205 |
| $75,001–$110,000 | $15,839 |
| $110,001+ | $16,444 |
| All income levels (average) | $12,366 |
That works out to roughly a 51% discount below the federal AY 2021-22 average cost of attendance of $25,082 (College Scorecard — a separate, federally reported figure, not the published cost of attendance shown above).
Arkansas State is a public school; Scorecard's net price figure covers in-state, Title-IV-aid-recipient payers only — there is no comparable federal figure for out-of-state students.
Arkansas State is one of them. The cohort minority (84 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
Every claim is checked against Arkansas State’s own published materials. Below is the full reference set.
