Yes but again, $29K is an average.
It is important to note the percentage of need met.
If they meet 92% of $50K (for a family whose EFC is nearly zero) then the uncovered need is $4K/year. Some students can make that from employment. If you borrow it all for 4 years, your debt is $16K.

That is in fact about the average debt of SLC students at graduation. Compare the average debt at graduation from the following public schools:

SUNY Stony Brook ($17,375)
UC Boulder ($18,361)
SUNY Geneseo ($18,700)
Alabama ($18,896)
Ohio State ($19,978)
Wisconsin ($21,123)
Tennessee ($24,690)
Auburn ($34,398)

Now, I should say that 92% is an average, too. It’s the percentage of need,on average, that SLC meets. Data published in the Common Data Set is not complete and detailed enough to know how the percentages are distributed across various levels of need. For all I know, the percentage may be flat across all need levels; it may increase with rising need; or, it might decrease with rising need. You have to apply to know for sure how it will work out for you.
