by our College Data Analytics TeamMost students will not be asked to pay 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 Washington State College of Ohio can feel overwhelming, but bear in mind that many students receive some sort of financial aid.

How much aid you qualify for depends largely on your family’s financial circumstances. The figures below will help you estimate the aid you might receive from Washington State College of Ohio.
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. Note that some aid is more valuable than the rest, and individual awards are far from uniform.
For freshmen starting at Washington State College of Ohio, 98% of first-year full-time students received aid of some kind (about 107 incoming students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 74% | $5,258 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 17% | $2,226 |
| Federal Pell grants | 54% | $6,200 |
| State/local grants | 11% | $1,069 |
| Federal student loans | 40% | $6,076 |
Gift aid — grants and scholarships — beats loans every time because none of it has to be repaid. Here, approximately 37% of undergraduate students received gift aid averaging $5,521 (covering around 601 students).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 37% | $5,521 |
| Federal Pell grants | 30% | $5,676 |
| Federal student loans | 22% | $5,821 |
For on-campus title-IV students, average grant aid came to $5,133.
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 | $7,749 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $8,716 |
| Over $75,000 | $13,156 |
The numbers above are post-aid net prices, so they already account for grants and scholarships.
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 | $7,714 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $8,913 |
