Our state-based data sheets provide information on graduate and professional students by state. They capture graduate and law student fall enrollment and degrees awarded using data from the National Center for Education Statistics and the American Bar Association. They also offer information on federal student aid by graduate loan program (e.g., Unsubsidized Stafford, Grad PLUS) using data from the Office of Federal Student Aid. These figures include the total federal Direct Loan dollars disbursed, the number of recipients, and the average federal Direct Loan amount for loan recipients. The data sheets capture AccessLex member law schools in the state.
