This report presents trend data on nonfederal grant and scholarship aid awarded to undergraduate students in selected years between 2003-04 and 2015-16. Nonfederal grant and scholarship aid is typically awarded by states, institutions, employers, and private sources. Unlike loans, grant and scholarship aid does not need to be repaid. Grants and scholarships may be awarded based on financial need, merit (e.g., academic or athletic), or a combination of need and merit. Estimates in these tables include the percentage of undergraduates who received nonfederal aid and the average amounts received, by aid type (need- or merit-based), source (state, institution, or private), and selected student characteristics. Eligibility requirements for nonfederal grant and scholarship aid vary by state and institution and may be determined solely by the grantor (Woo and Choy 2012). To receive need-based grant aid, undergraduates may be required to demonstrate financial need, often using information collected from the student's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application. With few exceptions, students must be enrolled in a degree program and have a maximum income threshold as determined by the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) from the FAFSA. Nonfederal need-based grant aid includes grants based only on need or based on both need and merit. There may be residency requirements to receive state need-based aid, though some states have reciprocity agreements with other states or public institutions (McBain 2011). These Web Tables provide information about nonfederal grant and scholarship aid for undergraduates in selected years between 2003-04 and 2015-16.
