Summary:
While the vast majority of its support takes the form of federal grant and loan aid to students, the U.S. Department of Education also funds dozens of programs that provide support to institutions. There is no source similar to NSF’s tool to track where these funds go by institution, but general information and amounts are provided on the agency’s website. While not providing a significant share of overall institutional finance, these funds and the programsbehind them reflect some of the federal government’s stated priorities for the postsecondary sector.
