Abstract	States collectively invest over $12 billion a year to support over 4.5 million students through financial aid programs. This interactive 50-State Comparison provides a look at the specific criteria employed in the top two largest aid programs by state. This interactive resource includes details about which state programs are linked to measuring need through the federally calculated Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) or purely family income. On the merit side, this 50-State Comparison includes details about which state programs use GPA or SAT/ACT scores to determine eligibility. It also includes information on which states require a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or use their own state application process for aid. Finally, following federal action to simplify the FAFSA form, it catalogs which state aid programs specifically require Selective Service registration or restrict eligibility for students with drug convictions. Hyperlinked data tables for 50-State Comparisons on these dimensions are provided. A state-level profile of all data points can be viewed by going to the individual state profiles page. (ERIC).
