A new analysis from the U.S. Department of Education has found that different types of two-year colleges — including public, private, and for-profit institutions — have markedly different student, faculty, and institutional characteristics. For example, students at degree-granting for-profit colleges are more likely to apply for and receive federal financial aid than are students at all other types of two-year colleges. But students at those for-profit institutions still face about twice as much unmet need ($6,436) as students at public colleges, where unmet need ranges from $3,140 to $3,695, depending on the college’s size. —Elyse Ashburn
