by our College Data Analytics TeamA large number of students will never be charged the full, advertised sticker price of a school. Instead, they will be given a financial aid offer that will include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study. The price tag of going to Nashville State Community College can appear tremendous, but do not forget that almost all students obtain some kind of financial help.

How much aid you qualify for depends largely on your family’s financial circumstances. The figures below will help you estimate the aid you might receive from Nashville State Community College.
Financial assistance, available as scholarships, loans, and work-study, is a way schools lower the price of attendance so many students can enroll. However, some types of aid are more desirable than others, and some students will receive more than others.
Looking at the entering class at Nashville State Community College, 92% of first-year full-time students received aid of some kind (about 1018 first-years).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 91% | $6,891 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 3% | $580 |
| Federal Pell grants | 66% | $5,430 |
| State/local grants | 77% | $3,204 |
| Federal student loans | 4% | $4,406 |
Because grants and scholarships do not have to be repaid, they are the most sought-after type of financial aid. At this school, about 77% of undergraduates were awarded an average grant or scholarship of $4,532 (across approximately 5108 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 77% | $4,532 |
| Federal Pell grants | 33% | $4,768 |
| Federal student loans | 6% | $4,815 |
For students living on campus and receiving title-IV aid, grants averaged $7,608.
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 | $5,725 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $6,654 |
| Over $75,000 | $10,473 |
Each figure is the net price after grants and scholarships, not the published sticker price.
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 | $6,777 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $6,283 |
