Scholarship Yield Rate vs Scholarship Offers Made
Understanding Scholarship Yield
Scholarship yield measures how many scholarship recipients actually enroll. It helps institutions budget financial aid and plan enrollment.
Formula
Yield Rate = Accepted Offers / Offers Made x 100
Net Cost = Total Cost of Attendance - Scholarship Amount
Coverage = Scholarship / Cost of Attendance x 100
Higher scholarship amounts generally produce higher yield rates, but there are diminishing returns beyond a certain threshold.
Example Calculation
200 scholarship offers made, 130 accept and enroll. COA is $45,000, average scholarship $12,000.
- 01Yield rate: 130 / 200 x 100 = 65.0%
- 02Net cost: $45,000 - $12,000 = $33,000
- 03Coverage: $12,000 / $45,000 x 100 = 26.7%
- 04Total budget: 130 x $12,000 = $1,560,000
