Notably, a total of 75% of the applicants to Tri-County Community College receive the Federal Grant every year. In comparison, 82% of the students are awarded the Student Grant, 5% get the Institution Grant, and 75% of the applicants receive the Pell Grant. While the Federal Grant awardees receive an average aid of $4,899, the State Grant receivers and Institution Grant beneficiaries get $1,698 and $1,000, respectively.

Moreover, the funds received through these loans will have to be repaid within a given timeframe.
