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. Some kinds of aid are clearly preferable to others, and outcomes differ across students.
Among first-time, full-time freshmen at Tulsa Community College, 87% of first-year full-time students received aid of some kind (about 1641 freshmen).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |

| Federal Pell grants | 50% | $5,711 |
| State/local grants | 23% | $2,245 |

Grants and scholarships are the most valuable form of aid because, unlike loans, they never have to be repaid. At Tulsa Community College, some 72% of undergraduates were awarded an average grant or scholarship of $4,054 (among about 10417 awardees).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 72% | $4,054 |
| Federal Pell grants | 36% | $4,769 |
| Federal student loans | 14% | $5,882 |
For students living on campus and receiving title-IV aid, grants averaged $6,612.
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 | $4,700 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $6,053 |
| Over $75,000 | $10,037 |
Each figure is the net price after grants and scholarships, not the published sticker price.
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 | $6,288 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $5,999 |
