by our College Data Analytics TeamA large number of students will never be charged 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 price tag of going to Chaffey College can appear overpowering, but remember that the majority of students obtain some kind of financial assistance.

Your financial aid package, which may contain grants and scholarships, will be determined on your financial need. Use the information below to understand how much financial assistance you may get from Chaffey College.
Aid such as grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships helps colleges decrease the real cost of attendance for most students. Bear in mind that not all aid is equal, and the amount any one student receives can vary widely.
Looking at the entering class at Chaffey College, 87% of entering full-time freshmen got some type of financial assistance (about 1675 freshmen).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 87% | $5,787 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 5% | $681 |
| Federal Pell grants | 51% | $5,591 |

The best aid is gift aid: grants and scholarships that carry no repayment obligation. At Chaffey College, some 62% of undergraduates were awarded an average grant or scholarship of $4,066 (covering around 12565 recipients).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 62% | $4,066 |
| Federal Pell grants | 29% | $4,208 |
| Federal student loans | 0% | $5,890 |
Among title-IV aid recipients living on campus, grant and scholarship aid averaged $8,779.
Need-based aid means lower-income families typically pay far less than the sticker price suggests.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $5,194 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $6,217 |
| Over $75,000 | $9,654 |
Remember these are net prices — what families pay after gift aid, not before.
Net price is the cost remaining after grant and scholarship aid is subtracted from the sticker price, and it is the most useful single number for estimating real cost.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $5,672 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $5,743 |
