Among other things, the annual family income of the applicant plays a major role in determining the total financial aid they are actually eligible to receive. Students whose family income per annum is less than $30,000 will receive a federal aid of $5,665 on average in a year. The average aid amount stands at $4,257 for an annual family income between $30,001 and $48,000. This amount comes to $1,386 for those who fall under the $48,001-$75,000 family income bracket. Alternatively, the candidates can also avail of monetary benefits like student loans, apart from financial grants and scholarship schemes to pay for their studies. 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. At CAU, an estimated number of 87% of the applicants choose to go for student loans.
