Higher education costs rise after aid lags
A series from the College Board shows annual tuition increases slowed to about 3 percent over five years, yet net prices after grants and tax credits rose for 2016-17 to 2017-18. Public four-year in-state tuition averages 9970 dollars, with net price 14940 including room and board. Private colleges show higher net prices but larger grant aid.
