Summary

CHAPTER 5 APPENDIX MATERIAL

Table A5.1 breaks down university and liberal arts college tuition and grants by ranking. For universities, listed tuitions are indeed highest for top-ranked schools and lowest for those ranked outside the top 100. Average institutional aid grants per undergraduate are also highest at the top-ranked schools and decline as rankings decline. Interestingly, the top 50 schools' average listed tuitions differ little – the average for schools ranked 26–50 is only 5 percent less than for schools ranked in the top 10 – but average institutional grants per undergraduate are 33 percent lower for schools ranked between 26 and 50. At liberal arts colleges, the top 25 are comparable in terms of listed tuition and grants per student (schools ranked 11–25 actually report slightly higher grants per student), whereas lower ranked colleges set both lower list prices and provide lower grants.

Table A5.2 shows the full results for the analysis of the impact of ability and income on the degree of discounting for undergraduate students.
