Does the cost of college affect your GPA?

Questions asked:

How much of that total tuition cost do you pay for yourself?

How many hours a week do you work to pay for school?

Were you awarded Pell grants?

Do you have parents or family who help pay for schooling?

How many credit hours are you enrolled in?

What is your current GPA?

continued...
-We received 124 responses
In state or Out of State?
Our survey results showed that 35%
of students were out of state while
65% were in state students
Yearly tuition cost
-The max amount that students pay
for tuition is $60,000. You would
assume that these are out of state
students paying this amount.

-Other students pay under $20,000

and the amount that most students
pay seems to be about $10,000 per
year.
Hours worked per week
-Out of the 124 people surveyed, 64
1 students reported that they do not
work at all. That is a pretty
1 significant amount of students.

-Apart from the that hours worked

are pretty sporadic. Seems that
most students work an average of
20-25 hours a week
Were you awarded pell grants
The chart shows the average
amount(blue)in Dollars,of Pell
grants, that the students were
awarded to pay Tuition.

The chart also shows the Average

(red) amount of tuition a student
who did not receive pell grants had
to pay.
Parents and family help
Out of the students surveyed, 61%
said that they do receive help from
their parents while the other 39%
pay for college on their own.
Credit hours enrolled
-More than half of the students
surveyed are enrolled as full time
students getting 12-15 credit
hours.

-43 students out of the 124 are

enrolled more than full time
getting 16+ credit hours.
How does the cost of tuition affect your GPA?
-After going over the results
we concluded that people who
pay more for tuition have a
lower GPA than those who pay
less.

Factors that could play into

this: stress, work, no
help,their main focus is not
school but actually how they
are going to pay for school.
