\1\Numbers of postbaccalaureate students may not equal figures reported in other tables, since these data are based on a sample survey of all postbaccalaureate students enrolled at any time during the school year.
\2\Includes students who reported they were awarded aid, but did not specify the source of aid.
\3\Includes students who received teaching or research assistantships and/or participated in work-study programs.
\4\Stafford loans, formerly Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL).
\5\Fellowship estimates for 1992-93 and 1995-96 were based primarily on information provided by institutions, and are not comparable to data for 1999-2000 or 2003-04, which were based on information provided by both students and institutions.
NOTE: Excludes students whose attendance status was not reported. Totals include some students whose level of study or control of institution was unknown. Data include Puerto Rico. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and because some students receive aid from multiple sources. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
