Abstract: This set of Web Tables is the first in a series of four that together provide key information about 2011-12 first-time postsecondary students' characteristics and their 6-year retention, persistence, attainment, withdrawal, stopout, and transfer rates. The series draws on data collected for the 2012/17 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS:12/17)--a nationally representative longitudinal sample survey conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)--which followed first-time students for 6 years after they began their postsecondary education. There are two sections of tables. Section 1 provides percentage distributions of first-time postsecondary students' personal, precollege academic, and beginning enrollment characteristics and postsecondary experiences by control and level of the institution they first attended (tables 1.1-A through 1.1-D) and by the degree programs they first pursued (tables 1.2-A through 1.2-D). Section 2 focuses on 2011-12 tuition, price of attendance, and financial aid receipt, by personal, precollege academic, and beginning enrollment characteristics and postsecondary experiences. It provides estimates for all first-time postsecondary students (tables 2.1-A through 2.1-D and 2.2-A through 2.2-D) as well as the 58 percent of all first-time postsecondary students who attended full-time, full-year only (tables 2.3-A through 2.3-D and 2.4-A through 2.4-D). For each of these populations of students, the first of the two tables includes information on their average tuition and fees; their average total price of attendance; the percentage who received financial aid, grants, and loans; and the average amounts received in these forms of aid. The second of the two tables spotlights grant receipt, displaying the percentage who received Pell, state, institution, and merit-only grants and the average amounts received for each of these types of grants. Amounts are averaged only among aid recipients (e.g., students who did not receive any grant aid are not included when computing average grant amounts).
