Colleges use loans, grants, scholarships and work-study to minimize what students actually pay out of pocket. However, some types of aid are more desirable than others, and some students will receive more than others.
For freshmen starting at Sullivan County Community College, 89% of new full-time first-years were awarded at least some aid (about 254 students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 88% | $7,731 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 32% | $4,086 |
| Federal Pell grants | 67% | $5,440 |
| State/local grants | 64% | $2,780 |
| Federal student loans | 21% | $4,532 |
Grants and scholarships are the most valuable form of aid because, unlike loans, they never have to be repaid. Here, about 36% of undergraduates were awarded grant or scholarship aid averaging $6,887 (across roughly 638 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 36% | $6,887 |
| Federal Pell grants | 28% | $5,008 |
| Federal student loans | 11% | $5,109 |
On-campus students receiving title-IV aid were awarded grants averaging $8,119.
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 | $8,384 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $9,866 |
| Over $75,000 | $13,950 |
Each figure is the net price after grants and scholarships, not the published sticker price.
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 | $8,482 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $9,263 |
