Description: |
These tables present data from the 2011–12 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:12), the most comprehensive, nationally representative source of data on student financial aid. Estimates include average tuition and fees, average total price of attendance, average amounts of financial aid received and the percentages of undergraduates receiving various types and combinations of aid, with a particular focus on grants and loans. These tables examine undergraduate financial aid only, and provide separate tables by type of institution. Estimates are included for those who attended public 4-year, private nonprofit 4-year, private for-profit 4-year, public 2-year, or private for-profit 2-year postsecondary institutions during the 2011–12 academic year. |
