! Interpret data with caution. Estimate is unstable because the standard error is between 30 and 50 percent of the estimate.
‡ Reporting standards not met. Either there are too few cases for a reliable estimate or the standard error is greater than 50 percent of the estimate.
¹Tuition and fees minus federal Title IV, state, and institutional aid indicates students' total dollar amount in tuition and fees that remained after subtracting federal Title IV aid, state aid, and institutional aid that students received at their primary institution during the first academic year in postsecondary education, and represents the immediate amount of tuition and fees that students and their families need to pay to attend the primary institution in the first academic year. Federal Title IV aid includes federal Title IV loans (including federal Direct PLUS Loans to parents), federal Title IV grants, and federal college work-study. State aid includes state grants, state loans, state-sponsored work-study, and vocational rehabilitation and job training grants. Institutional aid includes institutional grants and fellowships, institutional loans, and institution-sponsored work-study. Aid helps cover the entire student budget, not just tuition and fees, so it may be greater than tuition and fees alone. The variable was set to zero if the sum of federal Title IV, state, and institutional aid was greater than tuition and fees. Estimates included zero.
²Tuition and fees minus federal Title IV, state, and institutional grant aid indicates students' total dollar amount in tuition and fees that remained after subtracting federal Title IV grants, state grants, and institutional grants that students received at their primary institution during the first academic year in postsecondary education, and represents the actual amount of tuition and fees that students and their families are responsible for both immediately and in the long term (through the use of student loans). Federal Title IV grants include Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, and Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education grants. State grants include state need-based grants and non-need and merit grants. Institutional grants include institutional need-based and non-need-based grants. Grant aid helps cover the entire student budget, not just tuition and fees, so it may be greater than tuition and fees alone. The variable was set to zero if the sum of federal Title IV, state, and institutional grant aid was greater than tuition and fees. Estimates included zero.
³Black includes African American, Hispanic includes Latino, and Other includes American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, other Pacific Islander, and individuals who indicated Two or more races or Other. All race categories exclude Hispanic or Latino origin.
⁴This variable indicates if a student had a serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions; had been told by a health or education professional that he/she had ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) or ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder); had a learning disability; was deaf or had a serious difficulty hearing; was blind or had a serious difficulty seeing; or had any other disability or special need.
⁵Includes public less-than-2-year, private nonprofit 2-year, and private nonprofit less-than-2-year institutions.
⁶Base-year (2009) public school and student samples are state representative for a subset of 10 states listed in the table. Students attending public schools in all other states are included in the "National (public schools only)" category.
NOTE: The first primary institution is generally the institution in which a student first enrolled at the postsecondary level, according to enrollment data in both transcripts and student records. For students who enrolled at one institution during the summer immediately after high school and enrolled at another institution during the fall, their first primary institution is the institution with the fall enrollment. Academic years are defined as running from July 1 through June 30. The first academic year is generally the earliest academic year in which a student was enrolled at his or her first primary institution. For students who first enrolled in a postsecondary institution in the last 2 months of an academic year and then enrolled the following fall, their first academic year is the academic year of the fall enrollment. The academic year in which fall 2009 ninth-graders first enrolled in postsecondary education after high school varies, ranging from 2011–12 to 2016–17.
