Grant award distribution

The 509 requires schools to report where grant recipients fall across four bands. These are shares of students who received aid, not shares of all students.

BandShare of grant recipientsShare of all students
Half tuition or less22.0%16.1%derived: band share × coverage rate
Above half, below full48.0%35.0%derived: band share × coverage rate

Award size

25th percentile grant$7,365
Median grant (50th percentile)$30,000
75th percentile grant$47,400
Median grant as share of annual tuition61%in-state tuition $49,500

These are percentiles among grant recipients, not minimums and maximums. A 25th-percentile grant of $7,365 means a quarter of recipients received that much or less — the least award could be considerably lower.

What tuition looks like after the median grant

Annual in-state tuition$49,500
Median grant per year−$30,000
Remaining tuition after median aid$19,500

This is an optimistic floor rather than a real figure. The median grant only covers students who received aid — 27.0%of students received none — and it assumes the same award holds for all three years. Fees and housing are not included; add them from this school’s cost of attendance page.
