by our College Data Analytics TeamA lot of students will not be asked to pay the advertised price of a school.

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.
At Avila University, 100% of the incoming full-time class was awarded financial aid approximately 379 first-years).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 100% | $32,883 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 99% | $27,814 |
| Federal Pell grants | 68% | $6,140 |
| State/local grants | 35% | $2,631 |
| Federal student loans | 49% | $6,780 |
Gift aid — grants and scholarships — beats loans every time because none of it has to be repaid. At this school, about 95% of undergraduate students received gift aid averaging $29,494 (for some 1136 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 95% | $29,494 |
| Federal Pell grants | 56% | $5,987 |
| Federal student loans | 61% | $6,765 |
Among title-IV aid recipients living on campus, grant and scholarship aid averaged $34,043.
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 | $13,878 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $14,188 |
| Over $75,000 | $20,543 |
Each amount is the average cost remaining once grant aid is subtracted, by income band.
After grants and scholarships come off the published price, what remains is the net price — the best estimate of true out-of-pocket cost.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $16,053 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $16,939 |
