Undergraduate Grant Aid

The share of undergraduates receiving aid increased across all types of aid – state grant aid, institutional grant aid, and federal grant aid. Changes in grant aid over the past decade vary by provider, as average institution grant aid increased by 37%, average state grant aid increased by 28%, and federal grant aid increased by just 6%.

Notes: Average aid and share of undergraduates receiving aid are for first-time, full-time undergraduates at public two- and four-year institutions only. Data not available in all years for all states or territories.
