!Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is between 30 and 50 percent.
‡Reporting standards not met. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is 50 percent or greater.
1 Numbers of undergraduates may not equal figures reported in other tables, since these data are based on a sample survey of students who enrolled at any time during the academic year.
2 Includes only those students who borrowed to finance their undergraduate education. Does not include Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) or loans from family and friends.
3 Constant dollars based on the Consumer Price Index, prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, adjusted to a school-year basis.
4 Includes students who reported that they were awarded aid but did not specify the source of the aid.
5 Includes Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense benefits.
NOTE: Excludes students whose attendance status was not reported. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and because some students receive multiple types of aid and aid from different sources. Data for 2007-08 include Puerto Rico, which is excluded from the 2011–12 data.
