Насколько я понимаю, речь идет о государственных субсидиях университетам, а не студентам. Там картинка выглядит несколько иначе (https://www.air.org/news/press-release/taxpayer-subsidies-most-colleges-and-universities-average-between-8000-more):
Taxpayer subsidies that cover the operating costs of most colleges and universities ranges from around $8,000 to more than $100,000 for each bachelor’s degree awarded, with most public institutions averaging more than $60,000 per degree, according to an analysis by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) and Nexus Research and Policy Center (Nexus).
