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 Unitek College can appear overpowering, but remember that the majority of students obtain some kind of financial assistance.

How much aid you qualify for depends largely on your family’s financial circumstances. Use the information below to understand how much financial assistance you may get from Unitek College.
Financial aid, in the form of loans, grants, work-study, and scholarships, is one way colleges reduce the cost of attendance so most students can actually afford to attend. Note that some aid is more valuable than the rest, and individual awards are far from uniform.
At Unitek College, 79% of first-time, full-time freshmen received some form of financial aid roughly 84 first-years).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 60% | $4,839 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 0% | — |
| Federal Pell grants | 59% | $4,672 |
| State/local grants | 1% | $550 |
| Federal student loans | 57% | $5,908 |
Unlike loans, grants and scholarships are gift aid that does not need to be paid back, making them the most desirable form of assistance. Across the undergraduate body at Unitek College, approximately 51% of undergrads got grants or scholarships worth on average $4,966 (for some 266 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 51% | $4,966 |
| Federal Pell grants | 50% | $4,511 |
| Federal student loans | 48% | $6,937 |
For on-campus title-IV students, average grant aid came to $3,394.
How much a family pays depends heavily on income, because most aid is awarded on the basis of financial need.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $27,097 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $28,049 |
Each figure is the net price after grants and scholarships, not the published sticker price.
Net price is the average annual cost after grants and scholarships are subtracted from the published cost of attendance — the figure closest to what a typical aid-receiving student actually pays.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $19,130 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $23,740 |
