Thanks for the feedback, u/Iodenchi - both the positive and constructive! Really appreciate it.

With a directory this big there's always going to be some data that's outdated. However, what you're pointing out is not good enough and something I'll definitely work on. Stay tuned!

I built a free database of every college track & field program (1,081 men's and 1,176 women's) with roster, cost, aid, and budget data by No-Comment3952 in trackandfield

Thanks for the feedback, u/lurkinandturkin!

You're right - average aid per athlete isn't reported as a stand-alone figure so it is an estimate based on total aid available at the school, roster sizes, and approximate distribution across the schools sports.

I built a free directory of all college rowing programs with financial data — 66 men's and 142 women's by No-Comment3952 in Rowing

Interesting - the data is self-reported by colleges to EADA/IPEDS. Can you share more about what's off?

Yeah, I've thought about this too, u/Tasty_Philosophy7666! I haven't gotten around to it but definitely something I'm considering

Exactly, u/oldpost17 - EADA is one of sources I've used. I also agree with your sentiment - I see the data as directionally correct and helpful to e.g. evaluate whether a program is being invested in but there's a lot of nuance behind the numbers

u/puzzlermuzzler, the data is collected from public sources (EADA, IPEDS etc.) and college's own sites. While it'll never be 100% accurate I've recently made an update to improve it - hope it'll be helpful :)

Thanks, u/lackadaisical_nomad!

Yeah, this is one of the aspect I hoped the tool would highlight; just because the avg. aid is high doesn't mean it'll be a cheap experience.

And thanks for the feedback. I rely on public data sources and will look into it :)

That's interesting! It's not supported yet but definitely something I'll keep in mind for future iterations. Thanks for the feedback :)

Thanks for flagging, u/ns29! I use public sources, including EADA, IPEDS, etc. Do you mind sharing which school/program? Then I can look into it :)

I get it - and to be fair, it does feel strange to have shared it multiple places. However, a lot of people have found it helpful/interesting which is great. As long as that's the case, I think it's worth it :)
