Colleges use loans, grants, scholarships and work-study to minimize what students actually pay out of pocket. Some kinds of aid are clearly preferable to others, and outcomes differ across students.
Looking at the entering class at Imperial Valley College, 92% of first-time, full-time freshmen received some form of financial aid roughly 905 new students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 91% | $9,933 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 0% | — |
| Federal Pell grants | 81% | $6,316 |
| State/local grants | 90% | $4,326 |
| Federal student loans | 0% | — |
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 IVC, some 78% of undergrads got grants or scholarships worth on average $6,621 (across approximately 6318 undergraduates).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 78% | $6,621 |
| Federal Pell grants | 51% | $5,063 |
| Federal student loans | 0% | — |
For students living on campus and receiving title-IV aid, grants averaged $10,883.
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 | $1,694 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $5,146 |
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 | $1,115 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $1,697 |
