Abstract: The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 established Federal Student Aid as the Government's first Performance-Based Organization (PBO). That legislation specifies that one purpose of the PBO is to improve program services and processes for students and other participants in the student financial assistance programs. This requirement establishes an ongoing need for FSA to be engaged in an interactive process of collecting information and using it to improve the delivery of federal student financial assistance.
