Aid such as grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships helps colleges decrease the real cost of attendance for most students. Keep in mind that certain forms of assistance are more beneficial than others, and aid amounts differ from student to student.
Looking at the entering class at Erie 2 Chautauqua Cattaraugus BOCES-Practical Nursing Program, 93% of first-time, full-time freshmen received some form of financial aid (about 51 new students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 93% | $7,302 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 0% | — |
| Federal Pell grants | 60% | $5,687 |
| State/local grants | 93% | $3,622 |

Unlike loans, grants and scholarships are gift aid that does not need to be paid back, making them the most desirable form of assistance. Across the undergraduate body at E2CCB, around 94% of undergraduate students received gift aid averaging $5,911 (among about 63 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 94% | $5,911 |
| Federal Pell grants | 60% | $4,692 |
| Federal student loans | 31% | $5,891 |
For students living on campus and receiving title-IV aid, grants averaged $7,302.
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 | $14,226 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $13,332 |
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 | $11,651 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $13,484 |
