Colleges use loans, grants, scholarships and work-study to minimize what students actually pay out of pocket. However, some types of aid are more desirable than others, and some students will receive more than others.
For freshmen starting at Crestpoint University, 75% of entering full-time freshmen got some type of financial assistance (about 15 freshmen).

| Federal Pell grants | 65% | $4,912 |
| State/local grants | 0% | — |

Grants and scholarships are the most valuable form of aid because, unlike loans, they never have to be repaid. At National Paralegal College, around 50% of undergraduate students received gift aid averaging $5,934 (for some 195 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 50% | $5,934 |
| Federal Pell grants | 50% | $5,929 |
| Federal student loans | 54% | $8,249 |

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 | $15,596 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $16,243 |
| Over $75,000 | $14,083 |
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 | $15,670 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $15,524 |
