Student loans are counted as student financial aid. Parent Plus loans are not.
If a school says it meets 75% of need on average…really…it’s not a helpful stat unless you know the actual NEED the students had. If everyone only had $1000 of need and the school gave $750…that would be 75% met. But that amount would NOT help a student who needed $50,000.
Plus…it is an average…so that means some kids with need didn’t get it met…at all.
