Notes:
* Debt data as reported by campuses to Peterson’s Undergraduate Financial Aid and Undergraduate Databases. © 2009 Peterson’s, a Nelnet company. All rights reserved.
** State rankings are from 1 (highest) to 49 (lowest). States where the data cover less than 30% of the graduates in the state were excluded from the rankings because those averages are heavily influenced by a few schools and are not necessarily reflective of schools across the state.
 
All data are from four-year institutions only. All available data for total student debt and federal student debt are shown. Some schools did not report debt data for one or both years. Only schools that reported the percentage with debt and average debt for both overall student debt and federal student debt are included in the state averages. Enrollment and tuition data are from the National Center for Education Statistics, Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. Pell Data are from the U.S. Department of Education. Student debt, Pell Grant, and other data can be compiled into sortable tables or downloaded into a spreadsheet on our College InSight web site, college-insight.org.

Calculations by the Project on Student Debt. See "Student Debt and the Class of 2008" report for details.
