!Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is between 30 and 50 percent.
1Numbers 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 school year. Includes all postsecondary institutions
2Includes students who reported they were awarded aid but did not specify the source or type of aid.
3Includes Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense benefits.
4Includes Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS).
5Details on federal and nonfederal work-study participants are not available.
6Nonbinary includes genderqueer, gender nonconforming, or a different identity.
7Includes students who were single, divorced, or widowed.
8Full-time, full-year students are those who were enrolled full time for 9 or more months at one or more institutions. Part-time or part-year students are those who were enrolled part time for 9 or more months and those who were enrolled less than 9 months either part time or full time.
9Students who attended more than one institution during the year are categorized separately because they may have had more than one housing status.
NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and because some students receive multiple types of aid and aid from different sources. Data include undergraduates in degree-granting and non-degree-granting institutions. Data exclude students attending institutions in Puerto Rico. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
