Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
Caltech's financial aid for freshman year seems a bit stingy in comparison to some, but they won't raise it after your frosh year (cough MIT cough)
It was cheaper than good-state-college for me. I'm leaving with a reasonable amount of debt and don't worry much about how I'll pay for it.
Also, there's a hell of a lot of bang.

This place will form me into the best scientist or engineer I can be. It is just a matter of choosing the major I love.
Mateo from Houston, TX
Definitely.
Jianing Jenny from Plano, TX
It IS one of the most prestigious universities in the nation, and, being that tuition is less than forty gran a year, it does seem a better choice for some.
