by our College Data Analytics TeamThe majority of students are not billed 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 total cost of going to North American University can seem tremendous, but do not forget that almost all students are given some form of financial help.

| Federal Pell grants | 49% | $5,112 |

Grants and scholarships are the most valuable form of aid because, unlike loans, they never have to be repaid. Across the undergraduate body at North American University, approximately 95% of undergrads got grants or scholarships worth on average $14,020 (for some 546 recipients).
| 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 | $16,283 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $20,659 |
| Over $75,000 | $24,832 |
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 | $18,721 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $18,979 |
