Description
This file contains data on the number of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students and all undergraduate students who receive different types of student financial aid, including grants and loans, from different sources at each institution.
Sources and Types of Grants
Sources and types of aid reported for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students include federal grants, Pell grants, other federal grants, state/local grants, grants from the institution, federal and nonfederal student loans. Types of aid reported for all undergraduates include total grants, Pell grants and federal loans. Included are the total and average dollar amount of aid received by these students.
Characteristics
This file also contains the average net price at each institution for the following two groups:
(1) full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who receive grant and scholarship aid;
(2) full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who receive Title IV federal student aid.
For public institutions, group 1 and group 2 include only students who pay the in-district or in-state tuition rate.
Duplicate Variable Titles
Some variables have the same variable titles. The distinction is:
"GIST" starting variables apply to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates, paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Applicable to public institutions with standard calendar systems (semester, quarter, trimester, 4-1-4) that report financial aid data for students enrolled for the FALL and awarded aid anytime during the full aid year.
"GRNT" starting variables apply to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution.Students awarded only other sources of grant aid are excluded.
Applicable to private not-for-profit and for-profit institutions with standard calendar systems (semester, quarter, trimester, 4-1-4) that report financial aid data for students enrolled for the FALL and awarded aid anytime during the full aid year.
Also, applicable to public or private institutions that measure courses primarily by contact hours, or offers primarily occupational programs measured in credit hours with calendar systems that are continuous or differs by programs. These institutions report financial aid data for students enrolled between the 12-month period (September 1 through August 31) and awarded aid anytime during the full aid year.
"NPIS" starting variables apply to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate.
Applicable to public institutions with standard calendar systems (semester, quarter, trimester, 4-1-4) that report financial aid data for students enrolled for the FALL and awarded aid anytime during the full aid year.
Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.
"NPT" starting variables apply to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates.
Applicable to private not-for-profit and for-profit institutions with standard calendar systems (semester, quarter, trimester, 4-1-4) that report financial aid data for students enrolled for the FALL and awarded aid anytime during the full aid year. These institutions report cost of attendance for the full academic year.
Also, applicable to public or private institutions that measure courses primarily by contact hours, or offers primarily occupational programs measured in credit hours with calendar systems that are continuous, or differs by programs. These institutions report financial aid data for students enrolled between the 12-month period (September 1 through August 31) and awarded aid anytime during the full aid year. These institutions report cost of attendance for their largest program for the length of that program.
For institutions that report cost of attendance for the full academic year an average yearly net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance.
For institutions that report the cost of attendance for their largest program for the length of that program, the cost of attendance is generated as stated above, but is then divided by the number of months to complete the program to produce a monthly cost of attendance. The average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid is also divided by 12 to produce a monthly average. The average net price is generated by subtracting the average monthly grant and scholarship aid from the average monthly cost of attendance and the difference is multiplied by the number of months to complete the program.
Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.
"GIS4G" starting variables apply to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who paid the in-state or in-district tuition rate and were awarded any Title IV federal student aid and were awarded any grant or scholarship aid from the following sources: the federal government, state/local government, or the institution.
This variable includes Title IV recipients who were awarded grants or scholarship aid from the federal government, state/local government, or a grant or scholarship from the institution. Students that awarded grant or scholarship aid from private or other sources, or loans or Federal work study are excluded.
Applicable to public institutions with standard calendar systems (semester, quarter, trimester, 4-1-4) that report financial aid data for students enrolled for the FALL and awarded aid anytime during the full aid year.
"GRN4G" starting variables apply to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who were awarded any Title IV federal student aid and were awarded any grant or scholarship aid from the following sources: the federal government, state/local government, or the institution.
This variable includes Title IV recipients who were awarded grants or scholarship aid from the federal government, state/local government, or a grant or scholarship from the institution.

"GIS4N"/"GIS4U"/"GIS4O"/"GIS4W"/"GIS4T" starting variables apply to full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded title IV federal student aid. Title IV federal student aid, includes federal grants or federal student loans.
