affordability is a significant factor in student access, retention, and completion. Tuition and fee rates are a component of affordability, as is the availability of financial aid programs from federal, state, institutional and private sources, among other factors. Strategically designed approaches to college affordability can better assist students in preparing for post-secondary education, accessing programs, and degree persistence. This report outlines key financial aid affordability factors, such as net price, and availability of various types of financial aid. Due to a delay in IPEDS reporting, the full Affordability Report, which includes costs and their regional comparisons, will not be issued until fall 2025 for the 2024-25 academic year. This report includes regional comparisons, which include peer institutions from Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The comparison states include continental U.S. WICHE states, plus contiguous states.  \nExecutive Summary  \n• At NDUS institutions, both low-income earners and middle-income earners had either lower or comparable average net price to the regional comparisons, but lower income families still require a greater percentage of their income to cover estimated net price at NDUS institutions compared to middle income families. (Chart 3a, 3b, and Table 1)  \n• Of all the aid disbursed in the past 5 years, 57% was in the form of student loans or Federal Work Study, institutional scholarships and waivers 20%, federal grants 12%, state funded scholarships and grants 6%, and private scholarships 5% . (Chart 5)  \n• In 2023-24, 52% of all NDUS students received some type of financial aid.  \no Of the aid disbursed, 53% was in the form of self-help aid (loans and work), which was below the 5-year average.  \no Forty-seven percent of the aid disbursed was from non-repayable grants, scholarships, and tuition waivers. These non-repayable aid sources increased by $12.8 million from the prior year and are above the 5-year average.
