| NCES 2005163 | 2003-04 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:04) Undergraduate Financial Aid Estimates for 2003-04 by Type of Institution
This E.D. TAB is the second publication based on the 2003-04 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:04) conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) within the U.S. Department of Education. NPSAS is a comprehensive survey that examines how students and their families pay for postsecondary education. This E.D. TAB focuses only on undergraduates, including separate tables for those who attended public 4-year, private-not-for-profit 4-year, public 2-year, or private for-profit postsecondary institutions during the 2003-04 academic year. It describes average tuition and fees, average total price of attendance, and the percentages of undergraduates receiving various types and combinations of financial aid and average amounts received, with a particular focus on grants and loans. The results show that 63 percent of all undergraduates enrolled in 2003-04 received some type of financial aid. About one-half (51 percent) of undergraduates received grants and about one-third (35 percent) took out student loans. The average amount of grants received was $4,000, and the average amount borrowed by undergraduates in 2003-04 was $5,800. |

| NCES 2005170 | Debt Burden: A Comparison of 1992-93 and 1999-2000 Bachelor’s Degree Recipients a Year After Graduating
This report uses the 1994 and 2001 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B) to compare the borrowing patterns of 1992–93 and 1999–2000 bachelor’s degree recipients. It also examines their repayment situations and resulting debt burdens (defined as monthly loan payments as a percentage of monthly salary income) a year after they graduated. Members of the earlier cohort finished their undergraduate borrowing before the changes in the Stafford loan program were implemented, and most members of the later cohort would have done all of their borrowing under the new rules. The major finding of the analysis was that although both the percentage of graduates who had borrowed for their undergraduate education and the average total amount borrowed (adjusting for inflation) increased, the median debt burden (as defined in the previous paragraph) a year after graduating was about the same for both cohorts. |

| NCES 2004158 | A Decade of Undergraduate Student Aid: 1989-90 to 1999-2000
Tuition increases and the broader availability of federal student loans were the major driving forces of change in undergraduate student financing during the 1990s. A Decade of Undergraduate Student Aid: 1989-90 to 1999-2000 uses data from four National Postsecondary Student Aid Studies (NPSAS) to look at changes in financial aid to students in four types of institutions: public 2-year; public 4-year; private not-for-profit 4-year; and private for-profit less-than-4-year. The study focuses on full-time, full-year undergraduates in the 50 states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico and includes information on grants, loans, and work-study aid. The report also discusses the 1992 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA-92) and its effects on how federal financial aid was distributed over time. |

| NCES 2003030 | Getting Ready to Pay for College: What Students and Their Parents Know About the Cost of College Tuition and What They Are Doing to Find Out
This report uses data from the Parent and Youth Surveys of the 1999 National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES: 1999) to investigate how much college bound 6th- through 12th-grade students know about the cost of attending college, and the relationships between their knowledge of college costs and how they go about preparing for college. Apart from looking at estimates provided by these students for how much they think college will cost, the report also provides information about discussions students had with parents or teachers/counselors to learn about college costs and financial aid availability, and academic requirements of attending college. In addition, the report examines what parents of these students know about college costs, whether they had started to save for their children’s education, what they had done to gather information on financial aid, and whether they knew about various tax credits to help offset costs. |

| NCES 2003171 | Congressionally Mandated Studies of College Costs and Prices
This brochure briefly describes the major findings of three NCES publications (2002157, 2002174, and 2003161) completed in response to the Congressional mandate in Section 131 of the 1998 amendments to the Higher Education Act. |

| NCES 2003157 | What Colleges Contribute: Institutional Aid to Full-Time Undergraduates Attending 4-Year Colleges and Universities
Many colleges and universities, both public and private, provide grant aid to undergraduates to help them pay for all or part of the tuition and fees charged by the institution. This study provides information about recent trends in institutional aid receipt and then examines the relationship between such aid and the likelihood of recipients staying enrolled in the awarding institution relative to comparable unaided students. |

| NCES 2002174 | What Students Pay for College: Changes in Net Price of College Attendance Between 1992-93 and 1999-2000
The report examines the most recent trends in the net price of college attendance (price includes tuition, living expenses and other nontuition costs), analyzing changes in various measures of net price between 1992-93 and 1999-2000. Price changes are reported for full-time students attending different types of institutions, and trends are reported for low- middle- and high-income students. Despite increases in tuition, once all grant aid combined (including federal, state and institutional aid) was subtracted from the total price of attendance, low-income students did not pay a higher price on average in 1999-2000 than they did in 1992-93. In almost all cases, however, middle- and high-income students did pay more on average to attend in 1999-2000 than in 1992-93. |

| NCES 2001155 | Middle Income Undergraduates: Where They Enroll and How They Pay for Their Education
This report examines the characteristics of dependent middle-income undergraduates who attended college full-time, full-year, and how they paid for their education. It also compares these undergraduates with their lower and higher income counterparts. It examines strategies that these middle income undergraduates might have used to meet the gap between financial aid and financial need (unmet need). The report also looks at how they filled the gap between price of attendance and the amount of financial aid they received (out-of-pocket costs). Data are shown separately for those with financial need and no financial need, and by price of attendance. |
