Need-Based Financial Aid (Grants by Institution)
Lower-income families are often assisted by federal grants to cover the cost of college tuition.
Those in the middle-class on up typically have to rely on institutional awards鈥攖hat is, need-based grants from the schools themselves. Some colleges are better able and/or more willing to meet a student鈥檚 demonstrated financial need than others. Two simple metrics can be helpful in determining how generous an institution is: the average percentage of need met and the average need-based aid grant amount.
*Data was collected from each institution鈥檚 2023-24 Common Data Set.
