DeSales University Tuition, Costs & Financial Aid

For the average aid recipient, aid covers about 50% of the published cost, though the remaining price differs by family income. The published cost of attendance is $62,745, compared with an average net price of $31,643; average financial-aid savings are $31,102.

Lower-income bands have lower average net prices than upper-income bands, showing a pricing pattern that places more aid at lower incomes. The sticker-to-net gap describes aid recipients overall rather than any individual offer.

The average reduction and the income-band pattern both point to lower remaining costs for aid recipients from lower-income families.
