After grants and scholarships the range runs from $17,747 at University of Nebraska-Lincoln to $31,568 at Creighton University. That spread is the reason a sticker price is a poor way to build a list in Nebraska.
Why net price beats sticker price, and what an average one does and does not tell a particular family.
