8 colleges in Oregon with an average net price under $20,000 a year, ranked by what families actually pay after aid. Cheapest: Chemeketa Community College at $8,200.
Net price is the average a family pays after grant aid — not the published sticker price. Figures come from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard. Schools granting only associate degrees are excluded, so a community college appears here only if it also awards bachelor's degrees.
