by our College Data Analytics TeamA large number of students will not be asked to pay the full, advertised sticker price of a school. Instead, they will be given a financial aid offer that will include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study. The price tag of going to ATA College can appear overwhelming, but bear in mind that many students obtain some kind of financial aid.

Eligibility for aid and scholarships is driven mostly by your household’s income and need. The figures below will help you estimate the aid you might receive from ATA College.
Colleges use loans, grants, scholarships and work-study to minimize what students actually pay out of pocket. Note that some aid is more valuable than the rest, and individual awards are far from uniform.
For incoming first-year students at ATA College, 92% of first-year full-time students received aid of some kind (about 49 new students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 87% | $4,954 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 0% | — |
| Federal Pell grants | 87% | $4,806 |
| State/local grants | 6% | $2,268 |
| Federal student loans | 87% | $6,411 |
Unlike loans, grants and scholarships are gift aid that does not need to be paid back, making them the most desirable form of assistance. At this school, some 77% of undergraduate students received gift aid averaging $4,669 (across approximately 137 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 77% | $4,669 |
| Federal Pell grants | 77% | $4,568 |
| Federal student loans | 86% | $6,652 |
For on-campus title-IV students, average grant aid came to $4,954.
Since aid is largely need-based, the real cost of attendance falls steeply for lower-income families.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $22,155 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $23,169 |
| Over $75,000 | $26,577 |
The numbers above are post-aid net prices, so they already account for grants and scholarships.
The net price represents the average annual cost a title-IV-receiving student pays after grant aid is subtracted from the full cost of attendance.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $25,951 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $22,680 |
