The 2019-20 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:20) is a nationally representative crosssectional study of how students and their families finance education beyond high school in a given academic year.
NPSAS is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and was first implemented by NCES
during the 1986–87 academic year and has been fielded every 3 to 4 years since. This request pertains to the
11th cycle in the NPSAS series conducted during the 2019–20 academic year. NPSAS:20 will be both nationallyand state-representative and will serve as the base year data collection for the 2020 cohort of the Beginning
Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS:20), a study of first-time beginning postsecondary students that
will be conducted three years (BPS:20/22) and six years (BPS:20/25) after beginning their postsecondary
education. NPSAS:20 will consist of a nationally-representative sample of undergraduate and graduate students,
and a nationally-representative sample of first-time beginning students (FTBs). The request to conduct all
activities related to NPSAS:20 was approved by OMB including the latest change request in December 2019
(OMB#1859-0666 v.25-26). The NPSAS:20 enrollment list collection from institutions takes place from October
2019 through July 2020, the student records collection will take place from February through November 2020, and
the student survey data collection will take place from January through November 2020. This request is to add
language to the student survey (both English and Spanish) with directions concerning browser security to ensure
the security of survey responses.
