<p>Section H2(i) shows the average percentage of need that was met of students who were awarded any need-based aid. This example shows that for Vassar, the figure reported for a recent class was 100%:
[H</a>. Financial Aid - Institutional Research - Vassar College](<a href=“Institutional Research – Vassar College”>Institutional Research – Vassar College)</p>
<p>Also pay attention to H2(c) through H2(e). These rows will tell you how many students were awarded any financial aid (H2(d)) and how many were awarded need-based scholarship or grant aid (H2(e)) of those determined to have need. </p>
<p>Ideally, you want H2(c) through H2(e) to be the same number, and H2(i) to be 100%. </p>
<p>For H2(l), “average need-based self-help award”, lower numbers are better. Harvard’s number is $1,824; Vassar’s is $3,612; Whitman’s is $ 6,021.</p>
