Endowment per undergraduate uses undergraduate headcount (not 12-month FTE); this list is limited to institutions with at least 1,000 undergraduates so graduate-heavy schools with tiny undergrad counts don’t distort the ranking. A data ranking — not an Ibex endorsement or quality rating. Ranked solely on the metric named above using the most recent College Scorecard & IPEDS release, which lags the current academic year by 2–3 years. Institutions that do not report this metric are excluded. Figures and peer context appear on each institution’s profile.
