One thing i noticed is that the money seems skewed towards poorer schools. For example, the University of Alabama, with 38,000 students, gets $20 million. Alabama A&M, an HBCU with 6,000 students, gets $9 million.

I think the Democrats put something in there for HBCUs. It would be interesting to see the number for Troy St. or South Alabama.

Yes, e.g., Troy has 18,000 students and is getting less money than A&M, with 6,000 students.

Troy has a big online presence and their main campus is only about 8,000. I wonder if that has something to do with the money. Is there a formula posted anywhere?
Why are private universities getting this money?

Same reason why public schools are: because politicians are afraid of being voted out of office. All it takes is a global crisis for higher ed to get a little federal help.
Students at private schools are effected too!

I have read elsewhere that the formula was weighted towards schools with more low income students receiving Pell Grants.

Quo, are you complaining that Alabama didn't get enough money?

Not a complaint, an observation about the formula used.
UNC - ch 17 Million, 29K total students, 18K undergrads
NCSU - 18 Million, 35K total students, 25K undergrads
UNC - Charlotte - 24 Million 29K total students, 24K undergrads
I don't see a clear pattern in North Carolina. I do know that black kids who are not athletes are UNC-Ch are scarcer than hen's teeth. I suspect that undergrads are being more heavily invested into that grads, but maybe not. Carolina has 11K grads, State has 10K grads, while UNC-C has just 5K grads

As Quo Vadis stated, it is based on the students receiving Pell Grants. The more students receiving Pell Grants and the higher the need they demonstrated, the greater the amount the institution received. The only way enrollment figures into it is that with a higher number of students, there are possibly more low income students receiving Pell Grants. Those institutions with a high percentage of wealthy students did not receive as much.
