Dependent Students From Families Living in Poverty

Note: "Dependent Students" the number dependent students who filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA).

"Living At/Below Federal Poverty Level (FPL)" the number of dependent students from families living at or below FPL.
"Living Above Federal Poverty Level (FPL)" the number of dependent students from families living above FPL.

"Residency Status" there are cases where a student's residency status may change between institutions, therefore a student may be duplicated in the sector totals. "Graduate and First Professional Students" SCHEV Research did not begin collecting graduate and first professional financial aid information from the institutions until 2004-05.
