by our College Data Analytics TeamMany students are not billed the advertised price of a school. Instead, they will be provided a financial aid package that will include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study. The total price of attendance at Baptist University of Florida can feel tremendous, but do not forget that almost all students receive some sort of financial help.
Just what financial aid solutions can BCF provide, and just what are you going to be eligible for? Keep reading for answers. Read on to find out how much school funding will be available to you.
Your financial aid package, which may contain grants and scholarships, will be determined on your financial need. The information provided on this page can help you determine how much aid you may receive from Baptist University of Florida.
Financial assistance, available as scholarships, loans, and work-study, is a way schools lower the price of attendance so many students can enroll. However, some types of aid are more desirable than others, and some students will receive more than others.
For freshmen starting at Baptist University of Florida, 90% of entering full-time freshmen got some type of financial assistance around 18 new students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 90% | $8,847 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 75% | $4,177 |
| Federal Pell grants | 40% | $6,598 |
| State/local grants | 50% | $4,140 |
| Federal student loans | 25% | $5,900 |
Grants and scholarships are the most valuable form of aid because, unlike loans, they never have to be repaid. At BCF, some 69% of undergraduates were awarded an average grant or scholarship of $6,856 (among about 227 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 69% | $6,856 |
| Federal Pell grants | 40% | $4,981 |
| Federal student loans | 19% | $5,539 |
For on-campus title-IV students, average grant aid came to $12,787.
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 | $7,998 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $7,761 |
| Over $75,000 | $16,551 |
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 | $10,372 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $8,829 |
