by our College Data Analytics TeamA large number of students will never be charged 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. The sum total of attendance at Hands on Therapy can sound tremendous, but do not forget that almost all students get some type of financial help.
Just what financing solutions does Hands on Therapy provide, and just what are you going to be eligible for? Keep scrolling for answers. Read on to learn just how much financial aid will be open to you.
How much aid you qualify for depends largely on your family’s financial circumstances. The information provided on this page can help you determine how much aid you may receive from Hands on Therapy.
Aid such as grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships helps colleges decrease the real cost of attendance for most students. Note that some aid is more valuable than the rest, and individual awards are far from uniform.
At Hands on Therapy, 90% of the incoming full-time class was awarded financial aid (about 9 first-years).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 90% | $6,085 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 0% | — |
| Federal Pell grants | 90% | $6,085 |
| State/local grants | 0% | — |
| Federal student loans | 80% | $7,828 |
Because grants and scholarships do not have to be repaid, they are the most sought-after type of financial aid. Here, approximately 40% of undergraduates were awarded grant or scholarship aid averaging $5,963 (among about 33 awardees).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 40% | $5,963 |
| Federal Pell grants | 40% | $5,963 |
| Federal student loans | 40% | $8,175 |
For on-campus title-IV students, average grant aid came to $6,000.
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 | $15,464 |
Each amount is the average cost remaining once grant aid is subtracted, by income band.
The net price strips out grant and scholarship aid from the sticker price to show roughly what families really pay.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $17,252 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $15,464 |
