Sticker tuition and real net price diverge most at University of Tulsa, where in-state published tuition of $50,061 falls to an average net price of $15,000 after aid, a $35,061 gap, the widest sticker-to-net gap among ranked Oklahoma schools.

Figures reflect the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard IPEDS 2022–23 release.
Average net price = the institution-reported average amount students actually paid after all grant and scholarship aid, excluding loans. Only schools with a reported average net price in the DOE College Scorecard dataset are ranked. This page lists the 25 cheapest; the title count is the full Scorecard-reporting cohort for Oklahoma. Schools with fewer than 10 net-price-reporting institutions in a state or territory are not given a dedicated ranking page.
Some schools on this page show "Aid covers full cost" instead of a dollar figure. This reflects real federal data: at a small number of low-cost institutions, mostly community colleges with strong state or federal grant programs, average grant and scholarship aid meets or exceeds the cost-of-attendance components used in the net-price calculation, producing a reported net price of $0 or below for the average aided student. It is not a display error.
