Inter American University is the largest private universities. It has been maintained in recent years an enrollment of about 43,000 students. That figure represents about 21 percent of the student population at the university level in Puerto Rico and 35 percent of all students enrolled in private institutions of higher learning. For its tradition of service to the people, the geographical location of its academic units and the attention given to the needs of their students, the Interamerican University is attractive and accessible to students of all the municipalities of Puerto Rico. The increasing funds for student aid, both the Federal Government of the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, has allowed in recent years many students benefit from a college education, which without such aid, had not been achieved.
