Aid such as grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships helps colleges decrease the real cost of attendance for most students. Some kinds of aid are clearly preferable to others, and outcomes differ across students.
For freshmen starting at Kilgore College, 89% of the incoming full-time class was awarded financial aid (about 686 new students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 84% | $7,232 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 48% | $3,554 |
| Federal Pell grants | 63% | $6,330 |
| State/local grants | 9% | $3,640 |
| Federal student loans | 19% | $5,464 |
Because grants and scholarships do not have to be repaid, they are the most sought-after type of financial aid. At Kilgore College, around 41% of undergrads got grants or scholarships worth on average $5,438 (for some 2495 recipients).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 41% | $5,438 |
| Federal Pell grants | 32% | $5,098 |
| Federal student loans | 12% | $6,216 |
Title-IV recipients living on campus saw average grant aid of $8,716.
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 | $5,411 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $7,534 |
| Over $75,000 | $12,832 |
These figures reflect what title-IV aid recipients pay after grant and scholarship aid is applied.
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 | $5,364 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $6,629 |
