How much aid you qualify for depends largely on your family’s financial circumstances. The information provided on this page can help you determine how much aid you may receive from William Jewell College.
Aid such as grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships helps colleges decrease the real cost of attendance for most students. However, some types of aid are more desirable than others, and some students will receive more than others.
At William Jewell College, 100% of entering full-time freshmen got some type of financial assistance (about 229 incoming students).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 100% | $16,552 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 100% | $11,705 |
| Federal Pell grants | 36% | $5,991 |
| State/local grants | 45% | $3,788 |
| Federal student loans | 87% | $5,159 |
Gift aid — grants and scholarships — beats loans every time because none of it has to be repaid. At this school, about 99% of the undergraduate population received grant aid that averaged $15,673 (among about 856 recipients).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 99% | $15,673 |
| Federal Pell grants | 32% | $5,726 |
| Federal student loans | 48% | $6,334 |
Title-IV recipients living on campus saw average grant aid of $18,223.
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 | $8,614 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $9,908 |
| Over $75,000 | $22,148 |
Each figure is the net price after grants and scholarships, not the published sticker price.
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 | $17,562 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $16,602 |
