Top Ten Colleges for Total Title IV Student Aid

December 21, 2009
The following charts are based on integrating the four programmatic volume reports from the FSA Data
Center for the 2008-09 award year with the college type and control from the trial three-year CDR data
for FY2007 as published by the US Department of Education on December 10, 2009. Colleges were
matched from the various data sources using the OPE ID.
Enrollment data included in the trial three-year CDR data release appear to be too spotty and inaccurate to
permit calculating average Title IV aid per recipient for the colleges in the data set. In addition, 720 of the
6,279 colleges were missing type and control data.
