Scholarships are part of the plan for paying for college, but not the entire plan

Of students enrolled full-time at a 4-year college:

0.3% get enough grants to cover the full cost of attendance (COA)

1.0% get enough grants to cover 90 % or more of the COA

3.4% get enough grants to cover 75 % or more of the COA

14.3 % get enough grants to cover 50 % or more of the COA
