by our College Data Analytics TeamMost students will never be charged the complete price tag of a school. Rather, they are presented a financial aid deal that includes a mix of loans, grants, scholarships, and possibly work-study opportunities. The sum total of attendance at NUC University can sound overwhelming, but bear in mind that many students get some type of financial aid.
What financial assistance options will National University College offer, and what will you qualify for? Read on for more information. Keep going to find out just how much financial aid will be open to you.
Eligibility for aid and scholarships is driven mostly by your household’s income and need. The figures below will help you estimate the aid you might receive from NUC University.
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. Some kinds of aid are clearly preferable to others, and outcomes differ across students.
Looking at the entering class at NUC University, 99% of first-time, full-time freshmen received some form of financial aid some 4583 students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 96% | $7,018 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 9% | $317 |
| Federal Pell grants | 95% | $6,670 |
| State/local grants | 0% | $1,803 |
| Federal student loans | 31% | $6,983 |
Unlike loans, grants and scholarships are gift aid that does not need to be paid back, making them the most desirable form of assistance. At National University College, roughly 88% of the undergraduate population received grant aid that averaged $5,974 (covering around 22803 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 88% | $5,974 |
| Federal Pell grants | 86% | $5,703 |
| Federal student loans | 46% | $7,371 |
For students living on campus and receiving title-IV aid, grants averaged $6,901.
Need-based aid means lower-income families typically pay far less than the sticker price suggests.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $5,512 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $6,894 |
| Over $75,000 | $13,035 |
Remember these are net prices — what families pay after gift aid, not before.
The net price strips out grant and scholarship aid from the sticker price to show roughly what families really pay.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $8,920 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $5,732 |
