COLLEGES MEETING 90% or MORE of FINANCIAL NEED
In our effort to share more data on how colleges offer financial aid, we created a list of schools looking at which colleges meet 90% or more of a family's financial need. 

The data is based on information from a combination of IPEDs and Common Data Set data. You can sort the columns - so have fun fooling around. Sort by state, graduation rates, % of need met, and average need amount. The data may not be perfect, because it's self-reported by colleges, so use the information as a guide, not as gospel.
