These numbers seem way off…
Penn State is 12% to 13% (freshman) and 15% (all undergraduates). It is NOT a Pell grant friendly school. The info I"m using is from IPEDs.

It’s easier to view in College Navigator:

Wesleyan is 15%/17% (Freshman/Undergraduates)
https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?q=Wesleyan&s=all&pg=2&id=130697#finaid
Where is the data coming from? It must be something other than % of Freshman/undergrads awarded Pell Grants. Many of the numbers quoted match the IPEDs Data, others are way off.
Another example:
Arizona state has multiple campuses, but the main campus (Tempe) is 28%/29%.
@kidzncatz Looking at the IPEDs data for Penn State (main campus), 45% of undergraduates take out a student loan, with an average amount of $9,540. Looks like about 9% of all undergraduates, are taking out student loans (at an average of $20K) other than Federal student loans. Ouch…
