by our College Data Analytics TeamA lot of students will not be asked to pay the full, advertised sticker price of a school. Instead, they will be given a financial aid offer that will include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study. The total price of attendance at Wingate University can feel overpowering, but remember that the majority of students receive some sort of financial assistance.

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.
For incoming first-year students at Wingate University, 100% of new full-time first-years were awarded at least some aid (about 707 freshmen).
| Type of Aid | % of Freshmen Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 100% | $36,474 |
| Institutional grants & scholarships | 100% | $31,542 |
| Federal Pell grants | 48% | $5,862 |
| State/local grants | 33% | $6,323 |
| Federal student loans | 52% | $5,416 |
Grants and scholarships are the most valuable form of aid because, unlike loans, they never have to be repaid. Here, approximately 99% of the undergraduate population received grant aid that averaged $36,568 (across roughly 2444 awardees).
| Award | % of Undergrads Receiving | Average Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Grant or scholarship aid (all sources) | 99% | $36,568 |
| Federal Pell grants | 44% | $5,713 |
| Federal student loans | 52% | $6,520 |
For students living on campus and receiving title-IV aid, grants averaged $36,725.
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 | $18,015 |
| $30,001 – $75,000 | $19,087 |
| Over $75,000 | $26,361 |
Remember these are net prices — what families pay after gift aid, not before.
Net price is the average annual cost after grants and scholarships are subtracted from the published cost of attendance — the figure closest to what a typical aid-receiving student actually pays.
| Cohort | Average Net Price |
|---|---|
| On-campus title-IV students | $20,748 |
| Off-campus title-IV students | $21,371 |
