The average aid amount stands at $20,186 for an annual family income between $30,001 and $48,000. This amount comes to $19,307 for those who fall under the $48,001-$75,000 family income bracket. Those with an annual income level of $75,001-$110,000 would receive $16,633, while candidates with more than $110,000 of family income receive an average federal aid of $15,254. Apart from financial grants and scholarships, candidates can also avail of monetary benefits like student loans to fund their education. But, they should understand that student loans are borrowed at a certain rate of interest, unlike grants and scholarships. While grants and scholarship schemes do not require repayment, student loans should be repaid by the applicants within a given period. Every year, around 68% of the applicants to Benedictine University opt for student loans.
