| Abstract: | Each year, NASSGAP completes a survey regarding state-funded expenditures for postsecondary student financial aid. This report provides data regarding state-funded expenditures for student financial aid and illustrates the extent of efforts made by the states to assist postsecondary students. Information in this report is based on academic year 2021-22 data from the 53rd Annual NASSGAP survey. Data Highlights include: (1) In the 2021-22 academic year, the states awarded almost $14.9 billion in total state funded student financial aid, a slight increase about 1.0 percent in nominal terms and a decrease of about 6.4 percent in constant dollar terms from the $14.8 billion in aid awarded in 2020-21; (2) The majority of state aid (87 percent) remains in the form of grants. In 2021-22, about 4.1 million grant awards were made representing about 13.0 billion in need and nonneed-based grant aid. This represents an increase of about 0.8 percent from the $12.9 billion in grants awarded in 2020-21. Of the grant money awarded in 2021-22, about 73 percent was need-based and about 27 percent was nonneed-based, a breakout consistent with historical data; (3) Funding for undergraduate need-based grant aid decreased slightly nationwide from $9.4 billion in 2020-21 to about $9.5 billion in 2021-22, a change of about 1.6 percent in nominal terms; (4) Eight states (California, Texas, New York, Virginia, New Jersey, Washington, Illinois, Pennsylvania) collectively again awarded about 6.4 billion in undergraduate need-based grant aid, accounting for about 68.7 percent of all aid of this type; and (5) States provided about $1.9 billion in nongrant student aid, including loans, loan assumptions, conditional grants, work-study, and tuition waivers. Tuition waivers represented about 48 percent of nongrant aid. |
