Notably, a total of 46% of the applicants to Life University receive the Federal Grant every year.

On the other hand, the average aid received by the Pell Grant awardees is $5,022. 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. On average, students with an annual family income of less than $30,000 will obtain a federal aid of $8,590 per year. For the $30,001-$48,000 and $48,001-$75,000 family income brackets, the average aid amount stands at $10,005 and $8,143, respectively.

In addition to financial grants and scholarship schemes, students can also avail of monetary benefits like student loans to pay for their education. In contrast to grants and scholarships, student loans are taken by the candidates at a certain rate of interest. While grants and scholarship schemes do not require repayment, student loans should be repaid by the applicants within a given period. At Life University, the percentage of candidates who opt to avail of student loans is around 60%.
