|
Counts and percentages are unduplicated based on the selected variables. Because students often have multiple majors, the sum of Pell Grant recipients in majors can result in duplicated counts of students and will not equal the unduplicated total of students with Pell Grants. The percentage of students with Pell Grants by tuition residency only includes domestic non-residents in the denominator because international students are not eligible for Pell Grants. |
