Undergraduate Financial Aid

Estimates by Type of Institution in 2011–12

This report was prepared for the National Center for Education Statistics under Contract No. ED-IES-09-C-0039 with RTI International. Mention of trade names, commercial products, or organizations does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. These Web Tables were authored by Nicole Ifill and Stacy Shaw of RTI International. The NCES Project Officer was Tracy Hunt-White. For questions about content or to view this report online, go to http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2014169.

These Web Tables present estimates

of tuition and fees, the total price of

attendance (tuition and fees plus living

expenses), and several types and com-

binations of financial aid packages that

undergraduates received in 2011–12.

The price of an undergraduate educa-

tion varies widely depending on a

number of characteristics, including

institution type and attendance status

(Berkner and Choy 2008). To take these

factors into account, estimates are

shown by institution type for those

enrolled in public 4-year, private non-

profit 4-year, private for-profit 4-year,

public 2-year, and private for-profit

2-year institutions.1

Both for all undergraduates and for

those within each institution type,

estimates are presented by students’

attendance status, dependency status,

and income.2 Many institutions charge

full-time/full-year undergraduates

higher tuition and fees than their part-

time counterparts. Further, eligibility

for certain financial aid programs is

based upon attendance status:

to qualify for a federal Direct Loan, a

student must be enrolled at least half

time. Therefore, these Web Tables

present results for full-time/full-year

undergraduates as well as all under-

graduates. Students’ or their families’

income level affects the amount of aid

for which students are eligible, and the

effects of income depend on whether a

student is financially dependent on his

or her family or is independent. Conse-

quently, estimates are presented by

dependency status and income catego-

ries for all undergraduates and under-

graduates in each type of institution.

Tables 1–4 show the percentage of

students receiving aid and the average

amount of aid received by aided students

enrolled in all types of institutions.

Tables 5–8 show the same data for

those enrolled in public 4-year institu-

tions; tables 9–12 present the data for

those enrolled in private nonprofit

4-year institutions; tables 13–16 show

the statistics for those attending

private for-profit 4-year institutions;

tables 17–20 show estimates for those

attending public 2-year institutions;

and tables 21–24 show the same data

for undergraduates enrolled in private

for-profit 2-year institutions.

Aid Estimates by Type of Institution in

2007–08 (NCES 2009-201).

DATA The estimates presented in these

Web Tables were generated from the

2011–12 National Postsecondary

Student Aid Study (NPSAS:12), a com-

prehensive, nationally representative

survey of how students finance their

postsecondary education conducted

by the National Center for Education

Statistics (NCES). NPSAS also includes

a broad array of demographic and

enrollment characteristics.

NPSAS uses a two-stage sampling

design. Institutions are selected for

inclusion in the first stage, and students

are selected from these institutions in

the second stage. The NPSAS:12 target

population consisted of all eligible un-

dergraduate and graduate students

enrolled any time between July 1, 2011,

and June 30, 2012 at Title IV3 eligible

postsecondary institutions in the 50

states and the District of Columbia.

Approximately 95,000 undergraduates

and 16,000 graduate students were

study respondents for NPSAS:12.

ology, see Appendix B—NPSAS:12

VARIABLES USED All estimates presented in these Web Tables were produced using

PowerStats, a web-based software application that allows users to generate

tables for many of the postsecondary surveys conducted by NCES.

The variables used in these Web Tables are listed below. Visit the

NCES DataLab website (http://nces.ed.gov/datalab) to view detailed infor-

mation on how these variables were constructed and their sources. Under

ABOUT POWERSTATS PowerStats produces the design-

adjusted standard errors necessary for

testing the statistical significance of

differences in the estimates. It also

contains a detailed description of how

each variable was created and question

wording for items coming directly from

an interview.

With PowerStats, users can replicate

or expand upon the tables presented

in this report. The output from

PowerStats includes the table esti-

mates (e.g., percentages or means),

standard errors,4 and weighted

sample sizes for the estimates. If the

number of valid cases is too small to

produce a reliable estimate (i.e., fewer

than 30 cases), PowerStats prints the

double dagger symbol (‡) instead of

the estimate.

In addition to producing tables,

PowerStats users may conduct linear or

logistic regressions. Many options are

available for output with the regression

results. For a description of all the op-

tions available, users should access the

ENDNOTES

1 Estimates shown by institution type do not include students who attended more than one institution. 2 Dependent student family income and independent student income are divided into categories based upon income percentiles. For dependent students’ income, “Less than

$30,000” includes students in the lowest quarter of the distribution by family income; “$30,000 to $105,999” includes those in the middle two quarters; and “$106,000 or more” includes those in the highest quarter. For independent students’ income, “Less than $20,000” includes those students whose income falls below the median income level, while “$20,000 or more” includes those with incomes at or above the median. 3 Title IV institutions are those eligible to par-ticipate in the federal financial aid programs included in Title IV of the Higher Education Act. These programs include Pell Grants, federal student loans, work-study, and other federal aid. 4 The NPSAS samples are not simple random samples; therefore, techniques for estimating sampling error assuming simple random sam-pling cannot be applied to these data. PowerStats takes into account the complexity of the NPSAS sampling procedures and calcu-lates standard errors appropriate for such samples. The method for computing sampling errors used by PowerStats approximates the estimator by replication of the sampled popu-lation using a bootstrap technique.

NOTE: Average aid amounts are calculated for recipients only. “Average total price of attendance” includes tuition and fees, room and board, and other expenses as estimated by the institutions. “Total aid” includes all types of financial aid from any source except parents, friends, or relatives. Direct PLUS Loans to parents and other types of aid such as veterans’ benefits and job training funds are included in “Total aid.” Does not include federal tax credits for education. “Total grants” include grants, scholarships, or tuition waivers from federal, state, institutional, or private sources, including employers. “Student loans” may be from any source, but exclude other forms of financing such as credit cards, home equity loans, loans from individuals, and Direct PLUS Loans to parents. Students may receive more than one type of aid and aid from more than one source. Full-time/full-year students were enrolled full time for 9 or more months from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. Independent students are age 24 or over and students under 24 who are married, have dependents, are veterans or on active duty, are orphans or wards of the courts, are homeless or at risk of homelessness, or were determined to be independent by a financial aid officer using professional judgment. Other undergraduates under age 24 are considered to be dependent. For dependent students, income is the income of their parents. Independent student income includes the income of a spouse if the student is married. Prior year (2010) income is used in federal need analysis. Estimates include students enrolled in Title IV eligible postsecondary institutions in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Prior cycles of NPSAS included sampled institutions from Puerto Rico; to yield comparable estimates across cycles, use the COMPTO87 variable to exclude Puerto Rican institutions from estimates.

NOTE: Average aid amounts are calculated for recipients only. “Federal grants” are Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants, the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants, and a small number of other federal grants. “State grants” and “Institutional grants” include any grants, scholarships, or tuition waivers that are funded by a state or by the institution attended, respectively. “Other grants” include grants and scholarships from private sources outside of the institution, including tuition aid from employers. Students may receive more than one type of grant and grants from more than one source. Full-time/full-year students were enrolled full time for 9 or more months from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. Independent students are age 24 or over and students under 24 who are married, have dependents, are veterans or on active duty, are orphans or wards of the courts, are homeless or at risk of homelessness, or were determined to be independent by a financial aid officer using professional judgment.

NOTE: Average aid amounts are calculated for recipients only. “Average total price of attendance” includes tuition and fees, room and board, and other expenses as estimated by the institutions. “Total aid” includes all types of financial aid from any source except parents, friends, or relatives. Direct PLUS Loans to parents and other types of aid such as veterans’ benefits and job training funds are included in “Total aid.” Does not include federal tax credits for education. “Total grants” include grants, scholarships, or tuition waivers from federal, state, institutional, or private sources, including employers. “Student loans” may be from any source, but exclude other forms of financing such as credit cards, home equity loans, loans from individuals, and Direct PLUS Loans to parents. Students may receive more than one type of aid and aid from more than one source. Full-time/full-year students were enrolled full time for 9 or more months from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. Independent students are age 24 or over and students under 24 who are married, have dependents, are veterans or on active duty, are orphans or wards of the courts, are homeless or at risk of homelessness, or were determined to be independent by a financial aid officer using professional judgment. Other undergraduates under age 24 are considered to be dependent. For dependent students, income is the income of their parents. Independent student income includes the income of a spouse if the student is married. Prior year (2010) income is used in federal need analysis. Estimates exclude students who attended more than one institution. Estimates include students enrolled in Title IV eligible postsecondary institutions in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Prior cycles of NPSAS included sampled institutions from Puerto Rico; to yield comparable estimates across cycles, use the COMPTO87 variable to exclude Puerto Rican institutions from estimates.

NOTE: Average aid amounts are calculated for recipients only. “Federal grants” are Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants, the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants, and a small number of other federal grants. “State grants” and “Institutional grants” include any grants, scholarships, or tuition waivers that are funded by a state or by the institution attended, respectively. “Other grants” include grants and scholarships from private sources outside of the institution, including tuition aid from employers. Students may receive more than one type of grant and grants from more than one source. Full-time/full-year students were enrolled full time for 9 or more months from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012.

NOTE: “Other” institutions (3 percent) are public less-than-2-year, private nonprofit less-than-4-year, and for-profit less-than-2-year institutions. Full-time/full-year students were enrolled full time for 9 or more months from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. Independent students are age 24 or over and students under 24 who are married, have dependents, are veterans or on active duty, are orphans or wards of the court, are homeless or at risk of homelessness, or were determined to be independent by a financial aid officer using professional judgment. Other undergraduates under age 24 are considered to be dependent. For dependent students, income is the income of their parents. Independent student income includes the income of a spouse if the student is married. Income is total income in 2010. Prior year (2010) income is used in federal need analysis. Estimates include students enrolled in Title IV eligible postsecondary institutions in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Prior cycles of NPSAS included sampled institutions from Puerto Rico; to yield comparable estimates across cycles, use the COMPTO87 variable to exclude Puerto Rican institutions from estimates. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
