Gift aid — grants and scholarships — beats loans every time because none of it has to be repaid. At UNT Dallas, around 72% of undergraduates were awarded grant or scholarship aid averaging $9,005 (across roughly 2173 recipients).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|

Because need-based aid scales with family income, what students actually pay differs sharply across income brackets.
| Family Income | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| $0 – $48,000 | $7,804 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $8,244 |
| Over $75,000 | $14,878 |
Each amount is the average cost remaining once grant aid is subtracted, by income band.
Net price is the cost remaining after grant and scholarship aid is subtracted from the sticker price, and it is the most useful single number for estimating real cost.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $6,420 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $8,376 |
