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 Richmond Community College can appear tremendous, but do not forget that almost all students obtain some kind of financial help.

Colleges use loans, grants, scholarships and work-study to minimize what students actually pay out of pocket. Bear in mind that not all aid is equal, and the amount any one student receives can vary widely.
At Richmond Community College, 97% of new full-time first-years were awarded at least some aid (about 114 students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 97% | $7,580 |

| Federal Pell grants | 63% | $9,626 |
| State/local grants | 58% | $1,136 |

Because grants and scholarships do not have to be repaid, they are the most sought-after type of financial aid. Across the undergraduate body at Richmond Community College, approximately 90% of undergraduates were awarded an average grant or scholarship of $3,901 (across roughly 2164 awardees).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|

| Federal Pell grants | 31% | $8,283 |
| Federal student loans | 0% | — |
On-campus students receiving title-IV aid were awarded grants averaging $10,596.
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 | $5,777 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $6,622 |
| Over $75,000 | $7,908 |
Each figure is the net price after grants and scholarships, not the published sticker price.
Net price is the average annual cost after grants and scholarships are subtracted from the published cost of attendance — the figure closest to what a typical aid-receiving student actually pays.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $5,071 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $6,042 |
