Colleges use loans, grants, scholarships and work-study to minimize what students actually pay out of pocket. Note that some aid is more valuable than the rest, and individual awards are far from uniform.
At Trinity Christian College, 100% of new full-time first-years were awarded at least some aid (about 155 freshmen).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 100% | $14,966 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 100% | $10,482 |
| Federal Pell grants | 36% | $5,189 |
| State/local grants | 32% | $7,620 |
| Federal student loans | 56% | $5,108 |
Grants and scholarships are the most valuable form of aid because, unlike loans, they never have to be repaid. At this school, some 94% of the undergraduate population received grant aid that averaged $21,088 (among about 780 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 94% | $21,088 |
| Federal Pell grants | 35% | $5,439 |
| Federal student loans | 56% | $6,575 |
For on-campus title-IV students, average grant aid came to $15,887.
Need-based aid means lower-income families typically pay far less than the sticker price suggests.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $11,277 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $10,610 |
| Over $75,000 | $21,707 |
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 | $19,125 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $16,381 |
