Financial aid, in the form of loans, grants, work-study, and scholarships, is one way colleges reduce the cost of attendance so most students can actually afford to attend. However, some types of aid are more desirable than others, and some students will receive more than others.
For incoming first-year students at Lincoln Land Community College, 78% of entering full-time freshmen got some type of financial assistance around 586 freshmen).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 61% | $8,373 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 9% | $3,212 |
| Federal Pell grants | 46% | $6,092 |
| State/local grants | 45% | $3,864 |
| Federal student loans | 20% | $4,828 |
The best aid is gift aid: grants and scholarships that carry no repayment obligation. At LLCC, some 54% of undergraduates were awarded an average grant or scholarship of $7,715 (among about 2846 recipients).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 54% | $7,715 |
| Federal Pell grants | 36% | $6,298 |
| Federal student loans | 18% | $5,297 |
For on-campus title-IV students, average grant aid came to $8,080.
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 | $2,188 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $5,367 |
| Over $75,000 | $10,591 |
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 | $4,299 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $5,294 |
