Graduate Student occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

$652,916 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for occupation Graduate Student. FEC.gov aggregates count 391 contributions from 111 donors. The same string totals $5,871,698 across every cycle in this table, so 2012 holds about 11.1% of the occupation bucket. The word on the form is a self-reported occupation, not a license file. This page joins that string to cycle 2012.

Graduate Student as occupation, 2012 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string GRADUATE STUDENT. The other is the 2012 federal election cycle. The match is $652,916, built from 391 contributions and 111 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes.

Average contribution is about $1,670; average per donor is about $5,882. Those means are arithmetic on the 2012 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 3.5 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

STUDENT, PHD STUDENT, and RESEARCH ASSISTANT are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys. This page is the exact string GRADUATE STUDENT in 2012.

GRADUATE STUDENT is a self-reported title

GRADUATE STUDENT on an FEC line is not a discipline code or a license number. A student-status occupation string, not an enrollment census. Students, hobbyists, and household-occupation users can sit among the donor IDs.

$5,871,698 is every cycle combined for GRADUATE STUDENT. $652,916 in 2012 is about 11.1% of that stack. Other windows hold about 88.9% ($5,218,782). STUDENT, PHD STUDENT, and RESEARCH ASSISTANT are other occupation pages if stored separately. The 11.1% ratio is $652,916 divided by $5,871,698. Other even-year joins for GRADUATE STUDENT are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $5,218,782. Citing 2012 as if it were the Graduate Student lifetime total would overstate this cell by $5,218,782.

391 contributions from 111 donors

Dividing $652,916 by 391 contributions yields about $1,670 per itemized gift. Dividing by 111 donors yields about $5,882 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.5. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

111 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. A mean of $1,670 per itemized line and $5,882 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 391 contributions remaining larger than 111 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

11.1% of the Graduate Student roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,871,698. The 2012 slice of $652,916 is about 11.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 88.9% ($5,218,782). Treating 2012 as the entire Graduate Student FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $5,871,698 as the denominator for the 11.1% share. It is not earnings and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $5,871,698. Neighboring titles STUDENT, PHD STUDENT, and RESEARCH ASSISTANT are not added into either figure. FEC cycle 2012 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $652,916 if they were itemized against GRADUATE STUDENT. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored occupation for that window. Graduate Student is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the occupation filter and Graduate Student to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $652,916 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. 2012 is a presidential-year window in the FEC calendar. This packet does not split those years. Graduate Student as a student-status occupation string, not an enrollment census can appear in licensing or contracting databases under similar names. Those tables are not this $652,916. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards.

Citing Graduate Student and 2012 together

Start with $652,916, then Graduate Student and 2012, then the occupation hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: GRADUATE STUDENT, 2012, $652,916, 391 contributions, 111 donors, 11.1% of $5,871,698, source FEC.gov.

The 11.1% share, the 111-donor count, and the $1,670 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a sibling title and they stop being facts from this packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Quote both keys: Graduate Student and 2012. Quote the dollars: $652,916. Quote the volume: 391 contributions, 111 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out unless a later overlay supplies them.
