As part of this week’s Education Issue of the magazine, The New York Times is publishing the College-Access Index, a list of the country’s most-selective universities ranked in order of economic diversity.
For this updated version, we have measured economic diversity by analyzing the share of students receiving Pell Grants, which typically go to students from the bottom half of the income distribution.
The list covers the 286 most-selective colleges in the country, defined by Barron’s Profiles of American Colleges and other metrics.
Here, you see each college’s Pell share for the entering class in 2020-21, compared with the 2010-11 share.
Schools are listed in order of economic diversity as measured by share of the student body receiving Pell Grants.
