Financial aid is a high priority for most prospective college students. The higher the percentage of students who receive financial aid, the more desirable the school should be to attend. The data in the "Percentage of Students Receiving Financial Aid" column refers to the percentage of undergraduate students receiving financial aid for the 2008-09 academic year. The financial aid figures are provided by the College Navigator database from the Institute of Education Sciences, a sub-agency of the U.S. Department of Education.
College Navigator did not have financial aid figures for all of the online colleges. We did not, however, want to penalize those colleges without figures. To that end, we have adjusted the rankings of the colleges in this category. Read more about adjusted rankings.
