a recent trend shows that what is purely need-based aid is not entirely clear. according to the national postsecondary aid survey (npsas), sat scores affect the size of institutional need-based financial aid. if a student has a high sat score and a low family income, they will receive larger institutional need-based grants than a student with a low family income that has low sat scores. in 1996, public higher education institutions gave students with high sat scores and a low family income $1,255 in need-based grants. however, only $565 in need-based grants were given to students with low sat scores who had low family incomes. the lower a student’s sat score, the smaller the amount of need-based grants a student received no matter what their family income level was. the same trend holds true for higher education private institutions. in 1996, private institutions gave students with high sat scores and a low family income $7,123 versus $2,382 for students with low sat scores and a low family income. thus, “institutional need-based awards are less sensitive to need and more sensitive to ‘academic merit’ than the principles of needs analysis would lead us to expect.” it has been found that increasing an sat score in the range of 100-200 points can result in hundreds of dollars more in institutional grants and on average substantially more if one is attending a private institution.
