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.
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 ABSW Berkeley, around 100% of the undergraduate population received grant aid that averaged $348 (across roughly 27 awardees).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
