<p>I once saw a chart that listed what percentage of students pay the full cost of college. It may have been posted on this site. Does anyone recall this chart? My google searches have been unsuccessful. Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>Perhaps this is what you saw. It is on the Sallie Mae web site. I believe they do an annual survey for this information. </p>

<p>It doesn’t show percentage of students pay full fare. </p>

<p>It is different for each school. You can go on school’s website to get the information. I think my kid’s school is 45-50%.</p>

<p>The full report contains more details and breakdowns for the data. The report indicates that 65% of the respondents received a grant or scholarship, which would mean that 35% were full pay. The link to the complete report is on the page above the chart. </p>
