Percent of students receiving non-need-based aid
I am trying to sort out some of the statistics and rankings provided wrt paying for a private education.
There are several sets of stats listed on this site that I'm trying to better understand for several schools. This article on the "best value" raised some new questions.
With the premium on-line edition, I have been able to access the following on your site:
* Average need-based scholoarships or grants.
* % of students receiving need-based scholoarships or grants.
* Average non-need-based scholoarships or grants
I cannot find a listing for the associated "% of students receiving non-need-based scholarships or grants". However, I did find the list where you show this top schools for most merit aid ==> "Best Colleges: Most students receiving merit aid".
I'd like to know these actual stats for other schools I'm considering, to intercompare, not just the top 100.
I realize that "merit aid" is not exactly the same as "non-need-based" aid.
Am I'm missing this information somewhere within the college listings?
