Few students will pay the full advertised sticker price of Gateway Technical College. The Net Price is an estimate of how much the average student actually pays to attend college for one year.
To calculate this number we take the total cost of attendance of Gateway Technical College including tuition, fees, room, board and other expenses. Then we subtract out the average amount of aid awarded per student.
We wanted to talk about the net price for all undergraduates (not just freshmen), but that information was not available for Gateway Technical College.
100% of freshman students paid in-state tuition. Of these in-state students, 58% received an average of $5,730 in grants and scholarships. This resulted in an average annual net price of $12,353 for off-campus students.
The following table explores the likelihood that you too will receive some common price-reducing aid, based on percentages.

Family income can have a large impact on the amount of aid you receive, and thus, your net price.
The table below shows the average net price freshmen paid based on income level. Note that if the school offers in-state tuition, the lower in-state tuition has been used in the calculation.

|---|---|
| 0-30k | $7,933 |
| 30k-48k | $9,005 |
| 48k-75k | $10,747 |
| 75k-110k | $12,463 |
| 110k + | $12,712 |
