Abstract: The 2004 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study is
being conducted to meet the continuing need for national-level data
about significant financial aid issues for students enrolling in
postsecondary education. Information about financial aid policies and
postsecondary affordability is critical to policymakers who determine
the need analysis formulas for Pell Grants, maximum amounts for student
loans and other need-based federal programs, and estimate the
continuing and future burden that ensuring federal aid places on the
Federal government. For the first time this study will also collect
representative data on state aid and tuition policies which have been
previously unavailable at the student level. This clearance request
covers field test and full-scale activities. This interview will
collect information on background, program of study, enrollment status,
federal aid amounts, state aid amounts, other types of aid, tuition,
school-related expenses, student and parent finances, student
employment, credit card usage, and educational expectations.
