Low-income families see a net price of approximately $9,721, while middle-income families pay around $12,056, and higher-income families pay approximately $17,822. Azimuth ranks Holy Family University #405 for post-graduation affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions. Net prices by income band are medians within those bands; individual aid packages vary, so some families in each band pay more and some less than the figures shown. Holy Family University participates in federal, state, and institutional aid programs, and families apply for need-based assistance using the FAFSA. The gap between sticker price and net price reflects the university's aid reach, though the spread across income bands indicates how much of that aid is concentrated among lower-income families versus those with higher household incomes. Families weighing affordability should compare the net price figures carefully against their own income band rather than relying on the published cost of attendance — the net price illusion is a common source of sticker shock that obscures the real cost for most students.
