#Rounds to zero.
\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\Excludes persons not reported by race/ethnicity.
\5\Includes students who were single, divorced, or widowed.

NOTE: Rows may not sum to totals because of rounding and/or the fact that some students receive aid from multiple sources. Data include undergraduates in degree- granting and nondegree-granting institutions. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
