At Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY, the sticker price for a term tops $58,000, making it, by some standards, the most expensive college in the U.S.

But the tuition and fees figure on a college's website don't tell the full story. Some schools, like the notoriously expensive Ivy Leagues, offer generous financial aid packages that offset what a student actually has to pay.

CampusGrotto took a look at which colleges have the highest net prices, meaning meaning the average cost of attendance after scholarships and grants are deducted.

It found that Yale, MIT, and Columbia were among the universities that provide grants that amount to more than two-thirds the total cost of attendance. And Harvard's grants cover, on average, 79% of the sticker price.

Notably, the average grant at Sarah Lawrence was $31,000 for the 2011-12 school year, meaning that in terms of net price, it's only the 22nd most expensive school a student can attend.
