Aid such as grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships helps colleges decrease the real cost of attendance for most students. However, some types of aid are more desirable than others, and some students will receive more than others.
For freshmen starting at Northwest Vista College, 88% of the incoming full-time class was awarded financial aid (about 1457 new students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 87% | $5,689 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 11% | $1,509 |
| Federal Pell grants | 48% | $5,885 |
| State/local grants | 66% | $2,811 |
| Federal student loans | 2% | $5,039 |
Because grants and scholarships do not have to be repaid, they are the most sought-after type of financial aid. Here, some 37% of undergraduates were awarded grant or scholarship aid averaging $4,465 (covering around 7014 awardees).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 37% | $4,465 |
| Federal Pell grants | 23% | $4,916 |
| Federal student loans | 2% | $5,626 |
For on-campus title-IV students, average grant aid came to $7,407.
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 | $3,725 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $5,355 |
| Over $75,000 | $8,687 |
The numbers above are post-aid net prices, so they already account for grants and scholarships.
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 | $4,525 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $4,546 |
