\1\Numbers of undergraduates may not equal figures reported in other tables, since these data are based on a sample survey. Includes all postsecondary institutions.
\2\Includes students who reported they were awarded aid, but did not specify the source or type of aid.
\3\Details on federal and nonfederal work study participants are not available.
\4\Includes students who were single, divorced, or widowed.

NOTE: Row may not sum to totals due to rounding and/or the fact that some students receive aid from multiple sources. Because of rounding and survey item nonresponse, enrollment data may not add to totals. Data include undergraduates in degree-granting and non-degree-granting institutions.
