Gift aid — grants and scholarships — beats loans every time because none of it has to be repaid. Across the undergraduate body at Long Beach City College, around 67% of undergraduates were awarded an average grant or scholarship of $4,568 (across approximately 16331 undergraduates).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |

Need-based aid means lower-income families typically pay far less than the sticker price suggests.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $4,395 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $5,537 |
| Over $75,000 | $7,647 |
Remember these are net prices — what families pay after gift aid, not before.
After grants and scholarships come off the published price, what remains is the net price — the best estimate of true out-of-pocket cost.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $6,202 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $5,001 |
