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. However, some types of aid are more desirable than others, and some students will receive more than others.
At Santa Rosa Junior College, 82% of new full-time first-years were awarded at least some aid (about 732 first-years).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 82% | $5,485 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 59% | $1,349 |
| Federal Pell grants | 36% | $5,591 |
| State/local grants | 76% | $2,121 |
| Federal student loans | 2% | $5,789 |
Grants and scholarships are the most valuable form of aid because, unlike loans, they never have to be repaid. At SRJC, some 45% of undergrads got grants or scholarships worth on average $4,201 (for some 7561 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 45% | $4,201 |
| Federal Pell grants | 17% | $4,403 |
| Federal student loans | 1% | $6,902 |
For on-campus title-IV students, average grant aid came to $9,643.
How much a family pays depends heavily on income, because most aid is awarded on the basis of financial need.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $4,899 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $5,996 |
| Over $75,000 | $8,591 |
Each amount is the average cost remaining once grant aid is subtracted, by income band.
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 | $6,331 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $5,541 |
