Instead, they will be given a financial aid offer that will include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study. The total price of attendance at Atlantic University can feel overpowering, but remember that the majority of students receive some sort of financial assistance.

Through a mix of loans, grants, work-study and scholarships, schools bring down the effective cost so more students can attend. Note that some aid is more valuable than the rest, and individual awards are far from uniform.
Looking at the entering class at Atlantic University, 86% of new full-time first-years were awarded at least some aid (about 227 students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|

| Federal Pell grants | 86% | $6,301 |

Because grants and scholarships do not have to be repaid, they are the most sought-after type of financial aid. Across the undergraduate body at Atlantic University College, about 85% of undergraduates were awarded an average grant or scholarship of $5,325 (among about 1289 awardees).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |

| Federal Pell grants | 85% | $5,038 |
| Federal student loans | 6% | $3,080 |
Among title-IV aid recipients living on campus, grant and scholarship aid averaged $6,561.
Because need-based aid scales with family income, what students actually pay differs sharply across income brackets.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $5,878 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $7,463 |
| Over $75,000 | $9,843 |
The numbers above are post-aid net prices, so they already account for grants and scholarships.
Net price is the cost remaining after grant and scholarship aid is subtracted from the sticker price, and it is the most useful single number for estimating real cost.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $6,425 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $6,305 |
