How Generous is Post University’s Financial Aid?

The grant dollar amounts we’ve seen so far have included aid from all sources – both federal and institutional. Schools don’t have much control over how much federal aid students can qualify for (like Pell Grants), but they do their own financial aid dollars and how they’re used.

To figure out how strong Post University’s own financial aid program is, we’ll look at how they award their own (non-federal) financial aid dollars. The more students receive aid directly from the school (otherwise known as institutional aid), and the bigger the award amounts, the better the financial aid program.

A Brief Intro to Financial Aid

Aid comes in many forms, including:

• Need-based grants
• Merit-based scholarships
• Student loans

This financial aid comes from a few different places:

• Federal aid comes from the federal government, or is subsidized by the federal government.
• Institutional aid comes from your school itself.

Generally, it’s better for MORE students to receive HIGH amounts of financial aid—this means students pay less for college.
