Enrollment, aid, and student characteristics are the focus of this year’s student data. New tables this year include three that examine Pell Grant recipients: those recipients broken down by family income, which institutions in each sector enrolled the most Pell Grant students, and how the average Pell Grant has increased and decreased over 20 years. Pell-eligible students made up almost half of people who led a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, who were more likely to be women than men.

Here’s a sampling of statistics researched by The Chronicle data team.

More than 50 percent of all students, undergraduate and graduate, full and part time, were age 21 or younger in the fall of 2018. At for-profit four-year colleges, however, more than 50 percent were 30 or older.

Colleges with online offerings predominated among institutions with the most students receiving Post-9/11 GI Bill or Department of Defense Tuition Assistance benefits in 2017-18. The 15 institutions that enrolled the most students receiving Department of Defense Tuition Assistance benefits collected more than 60 percent of all such benefits in 2017-18.
