†Not applicable.
‡Reporting standards not met (too few cases for a reliable estimate).
1 Includes students who reported they were awarded aid but did not specify the source or type of aid.
2 Includes Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense benefits.
3 Includes Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS).
4 Details on federal and nonfederal work-study participants are not available.
5 Includes students who were single, divorced, or widowed.
NOTE: Aid averages are for those students who received the specified type of aid. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and because some students receive multiple types of aid and aid from different sources. Part-time or part-year undergraduates include students enrolled part time for 9 or more months and students enrolled less than 9 months either part time or full time. Data include undergraduates in degree-granting and non-degree-granting institutions. Data exclude Puerto Rico. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
