This set of Web Tables presents trend data on nonfederal grant and scholar- ship aid awarded to undergraduate students between 1999–2000 and 2011–12. Nonfederal grant and schol- arship aid is financial aid awarded by states, institutions, employers, and private organizations. Grants and scholarships, unlike loans, do not need to be repaid and are traditionally awarded on the basis of financial need, merit (e.g., academic or athletic), or a combination of need and merit. Estimates in these tables include the percentage of undergraduates who received nonfederal aid and the average amounts they received, by aid type (need- or merit-based), source (state, institution, or private organization), and selected student characteristics, such as sex, dependen- cy status, income, institution type, and enrollment intensity. Eligibility requirements for nonfederal grant and scholarship aid vary by state and institution and may be determined solely by the grantor (Woo and Choy 2012). To receive need-based grant aid, undergraduates may be required to demonstrate financial need, often using information collected from the student’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application. With few exceptions, students must be enrolled in a degree program and have a maximum income threshold as determined by the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) from the FAFSA. Nonfederal need-based grant aid includes grants based only on need or based on both need and merit. There may be residency requirements to receive state need-based aid, though some states have reciprocity agree- ments with other states or public institutions (McBain 2011). Determinations for scholarship aid, also referred to as non-need-based grant or merit aid, are made based on academic achievement, athletic abilities, or other criteria determined by the grantor. For academic scholarships, students may be required to demonstrate academic achievement through such measures as a minimum grade point average (GPA) and/or standardized test score (e.g., ACT or SAT score). Table 1 provides information on the percentage of undergraduates who received any aid and any federal, non- federal, state, institutional, and employer aid, by type of institution. Table 2 includes estimates of the percentage of undergraduates who received any nonfederal grant aid and the average amount received. Table 3A shows the percentage who received any state grant aid and the average amount received. Table 3B focuses on need-based state aid and the average amount received, and table 3C does so for merit-based state aid. Total state aid (table 3A) includes work-study and vocational training and may therefore be greater than

1 Title IV institutions are those eligible to participate in the federal financial aid programs included in Title IV of the Higher Education Act. These programs include Pell Grants, federal student loans, work-study, and other federal aid. 2 The NPSAS samples are not simple random samples; therefore, simple random sample techniques for estimating sampling error cannot be applied to these data. PowerStats takes into account the complexity of the sampling procedures and calculates standard errors appropriate for such samples. The method for computing sampling errors used by PowerStats approximates the estimator by replication of the sampled population, using a bootstrap technique.

1 Students attending public less-than-2-year institutions or private nonprofit less-than-4-year institutions are included in the total but are not shown separately. 2 Any full-time includes students who were enrolled exclusively full time and students who were enrolled both full time and part time during the academic year. 3 Black includes African American, Hispanic includes Latino, American Indian includes Alaska Native, Pacific Islander includes Native Hawaiian, and Other or Two or more races includes respondents having origins in more than one race. Race categories exclude Hispanic origin unless specified.4 Independent students are age 24 or over and students under 24 who are married, have dependents, are veterans or on active duty, are orphans or wards of the courts, are homeless or at risk of homelessness, or were determined to be independent by a financial aid officer using professional judgment. Other undergraduates under age 24 are considered to be dependent.5 Indicates dependent students’ parents’ total income. Most undergraduates under age 24 are considered to be dependent for financial aid purposes.6 For independent students, consists of the income of the student (and spouse if the student is married).
8 Applies only to the 73–79 percent of students who attended public institutions. Indicates whether the tuition paid by the student was in or out of the jurisdiction of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) institution. 9 The selectivity measure was developed for the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) for public or private nonprofit 4-year institutions using the following criteria: whether the institution was open admission (no minimal requirements); the number of applicants; the number of students admitted; the 25th and 75th percentiles of ACT and/or SAT scores; and whether or not test scores were required. Open admission 4-year institutions comprise a separate category.NOTE: Nonfederal grant aid includes grants from states, institutions, and private organizations. Average aid amounts in each column are calculated only for students receiving that type of aid. Those not receiving that type of aid (i.e., zero values) are not included in that column’s average. Detailed estimates include students enrolled in Title IV eligible postsecondary institutions in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, except in NPSAS:12. A separate total excluding Puerto Rico was created to compare totals across all years.

9 The selectivity measure was developed for the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) for public or private nonprofit 4-year institutions using the following criteria: whether the institution was open admission (no minimal requirements); the number of applicants; the number of students admitted; the 25th and 75th percentiles of ACT and/or SAT scores; and whether or not test scores were required. Open admission 4-year institutions comprise a separate category.
3 Black includes African American, Hispanic includes Latino, American Indian includes Alaska Native, Pacific Islander includes Native Hawaiian, and Two or more races includes respondents having origins in more than one race. Race categories exclude Hispanic origin unless specified.4 Independent students are age 24 or over and students under 24 who are married, have dependents, are veterans or on active duty, are orphans or wards of the courts, are homeless or at risk of homelessness, or were determined to be independent by a financial aid officer using professional judgment. Other undergraduates under age 24 are considered to be dependent.5 Indicates dependent students’ parents’ total income. Most undergraduates under age 24 are considered to be dependent for financial aid purposes.6 For independent students, consists of the income of the student (and spouse if the student is married).7 Estimates for high school grade point average only apply to the approximately 75 percent of undergraduates under the age of 30.8 Applies only to the 73–79 percent of students who attended public institutions. Indicates whether the tuition paid by the student was in or out of the jurisdiction of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) institution.
NOTE: State grant aid consists of all grants and scholarships provided by state governments. For students attending more than one institution, includes aid received at the NPSAS institution but may not include aid received at other institutions. Average aid amounts in each column are calculated only for students receiving that type of aid. Those not receiving that type of aid (i.e., zero values) are not included in that column’s average. Detailed estimates include students enrolled in Title IV eligible institutions in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico is excluded in 2012). A separate total excluding Puerto Rico was created to compare totals across all years.

Indicates whether the tuition paid by the student was in or out of the jurisdiction of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) institution. 9 The selectivity measure was developed for the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) for public or private nonprofit 4-year institutions using the following criteria: whether the institution was open admission (no minimal requirements); the number of applicants; the number of students admitted; the 25th and 75th percentiles of ACT and/or SAT scores; and whether or not test scores were required. Open admission 4-year institutions comprise a separate category.NOTE: Institutional need-based aid consists of need-based grants. Some institutional need-based grants may include merit aid. Those not receiving that type of aid (i.e., zero values) are not included in that column’s average. Detailed estimates include students enrolled in Title IV eligible institutions in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico is excluded in 2012). A separate total excluding Puerto Rico was created to compare totals across all years.
