by our College Data Analytics TeamMany students will not be asked to pay the advertised price of a school. Instead, they will be provided a financial aid package that will include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study.

Colleges use loans, grants, scholarships and work-study to minimize what students actually pay out of pocket. However, some types of aid are more desirable than others, and some students will receive more than others.
For freshmen starting at Campbell University, 100% of first-year full-time students received aid of some kind (about 563 freshmen).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 100% | $36,532 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 99% | $31,413 |
| Federal Pell grants | 39% | $6,301 |
| State/local grants | 42% | $6,582 |
| Federal student loans | 45% | $5,378 |
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 Campbell, around 89% of undergrads got grants or scholarships worth on average $30,690 (across roughly 2494 awardees).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 89% | $30,690 |
| Federal Pell grants | 38% | $6,094 |
| Federal student loans | 39% | $6,925 |
Title-IV recipients living on campus saw average grant aid of $37,671.
The figures below show the average net price — cost after all grant and scholarship aid — broken out by family income.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $19,084 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $19,807 |
| Over $75,000 | $29,466 |
Each amount is the average cost remaining once grant aid is subtracted, by income band.
The net price represents the average annual cost a title-IV-receiving student pays after grant aid is subtracted from the full cost of attendance.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $24,516 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $23,991 |
