Enrollment-weighted tuition and fees weight the price charged by each institution by the number of full-time undergraduate stud
in fall 2015. Public four-year in-state charges are weighted by total fall 2015 full-time undergraduate enrollment in each institutio
both in-state students and out-of-state students. Out-of-state tuition and fees are computed by adding the average in-state price
of-state premium weighted by the number of full-time out-of-state undergraduate students enrolled at each institution. Room an
charges are weighted by the number of undergraduate students residing on campus for four-year institutions and by the numbe
commuter students for public two-year institutions.

NOTE: The Consumer Price Index for all urban dwellers (CPI-U) is used to adjust for
inflation. Updated CPI data are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics web site
(www.bls.gov/data/). Multiplication of a current-year figure by the associated factor will
yield a constant-dollar result. Most values in Trends in Student Aid are in 2016 dollars,
while most values in Trends in College Pricing have been converted to 2017 dollars.

NOTES: For out-of-state students enrolled in public four-year institutions, the

nonresident premium has been added to in-state tuition and fees. Some out-of-
state students benefit from reciprocity agreements, which allow students from
neighboring states to pay less than the full out-of-state price. The distribution of
students across institutions is based on the latest available enrollment data, which
are for fall 2015. Percentages may not sum to 100 because of rounding.

NOTES: Figure 4B shows published tuition and fees by sector,

adjusted for inflation, relative to 1987-88 published prices. For
example, a value of 3.13 indicates that the tuition and fee price in
the public four-year sector in 2017-18 is 3.13 times as high as it was
in 1987-88, after adjusting for increases in the Consumer Price
Index. Average tuition and fee prices reflect in-district charges for
public two-year institutions and in-state charges for public four-year
institutions.

NOTES: Because of the unavailability of data for 2015-16, all years

of data exclude Illinois. Enrollment figures are fall FTE enrollments
for public two-year and four-year institutions, excluding medical
students. Tuition and fees reflect an FTE enrollment-weighted
average of two-year and four-year prices. Funding is for both two-
year and four-year institutions and includes tax revenues and other
state and local funds for higher education, but not funding for capital
expenditures.

NOTES: Because of the unavailability of data for 2015-16, all

years of data exclude Illinois. Enrollment figures are fall FTE
enrollments for public two-year and four-year institutions,
excluding medical students. Tuition and fees reflect an FTE
enrollment-weighted average of two-year and four-year prices.
Funding is for both two-year and four-year institutions and
includes tax revenues and other state and local funds for
higher education, but not funding for capital expenditures.

NOTES: Net tuition revenue is the amount of revenue an institution takes in from tuition and fees, net of all
institutional grant aid provided to students. Some of this revenue comes in the form of Pell Grants and other
financial aid from federal and state governments and other sources. Subsidies are defined as the portion of the cost
of educating students not covered by net tuition revenue. Education and related expenditures include spending on
instruction, student services, and the education share of spending on central academic and administrative support,
as well as operations and maintenance. Expenditures for both undergraduate and graduate students are included in
these estimates. Institutional averages are weighted by 12 month FTE enrollments.

based on data for 511 public and 1,022 private nonprofit
four-year institutions. Average endowment per student by
decile is calculated by ordering institutions by assets per
student and dividing students in the sector into deciles.
Total assets in institutions enrolling 10% of students are
divided by the number of students in those schools.
