*Students may be served by more than one program. The totals reported for each aid program category include all students served by that program or programs. The grand total reported is an unduplicated count of all students served.
**The total student pool number for purposes of financial aid is the unduplicated headcount of admitted students --full-time, part-time, undergraduates, and graduates -- enrolled for credit during the regular 1995-96 academic year (fall, winter, and spring terms).
***Beginning with the 1995-96 academic year, most OSSHE institutions participated in the new federal direct loan program. In 1995-96, direct loans accounted for 85% of total federal loan activity.
