only 15 percent at Penn State, and Santa Barbara charges low-income students about half as much.
As in Pennsylvania, Indiana's flagship schools come
up short on Pell enrollment. Why? An administrator for
enrollment management at Purdue University lamented that Indiana's high school graduates "are not as prepared to be as successful in college as we would like
them to be," especially in math. This has led the university to recruit large numbers of nonresidents to meet
enrollment and revenue targets. Leadership at Indiana
University-Bloomington cited similar efforts to recruit
out-of-state students, noting the challenge of balancing
"academic quality, diversity, and affordability."
It's certainly true that these schools have aggressively recruited out-of-state and international students-
who, not coincidentally, typically pay upward of $28,000
in annual tuition, far higher than Hoosier residents. Instate enrollment at Purdue declined by 700 students
Note: Median ACT Score, Actual Pell Enrollment Rate, 6-Year Graduation Rate, Net Price for Low-Income Students, and Percent
Pell Enrollment Among All Institutions in State are averages of the 2011, 2012, and 2013 data to adjust for variation over time.

over the past decade, while international enrollments
grew by 690. Non-Hoosiers-including these international students-now make up 43 percent of West
Lafayette's student body. At Bloomington, the international student population has increased by nearly 600
since 2004, the fastest growing of any student group
on campus.
There is no reason to believe that the number of
qualified Indiana residents has declined so dramatically in just ten years. Among the 20,000 low-income
high school graduates in Indiana, these premier colleges could certainly each recruit a few hundred more talented students with the capacity to succeed in their rigorous curriculums. Proof that this is possible is available right in the state: Bloomington, with a median ACT
score of 25, chose to enroll 618 fewer needy students
than it might have; Indiana Wesleyan University, with a
median ACT score of 24, chose to enroll 260 more.
