by our College Data Analytics TeamMany students will not be asked to pay the full sticker price of a school. Rather, they are offered a financial aid plan that includes a mix of loans, grants, scholarships, and possibly work-study opportunities. The total price of attendance at Baptist Health College Little Rock can feel overpowering, but remember that the majority of students receive some sort of financial assistance.
Just what financial assistance solutions will BHCLR provide, and just what are you going to be eligible for? Read on for answers. Keep scrolling to find out how much school funding will be available to you.
Your financial aid package, which may contain grants and scholarships, will be determined on your financial need. The figures below will help you estimate the aid you might receive from Baptist Health College Little Rock.
Financial assistance, available as scholarships, loans, and work-study, is a way schools lower the price of attendance so many students can enroll. However, some types of aid are more desirable than others, and some students will receive more than others.
At Baptist Health College Little Rock, 56% of first-year full-time students received aid of some kind (about 5 incoming students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 44% | $8,134 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 22% | $2,377 |
| Federal Pell grants | 44% | $6,383 |
| State/local grants | 33% | $667 |
| Federal student loans | 33% | $6,400 |
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 BHCLR, around 78% of undergraduate students received gift aid averaging $5,666 (across roughly 398 recipients).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 78% | $5,666 |
| Federal Pell grants | 46% | $4,480 |
| Federal student loans | 61% | $6,405 |
Among title-IV aid recipients living on campus, grant and scholarship aid averaged $6,507.
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 | $34,755 |
These figures reflect what title-IV aid recipients pay after grant and scholarship aid is applied.
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 | $25,454 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $34,755 |
