This appendix provides the student survey facsimile for the 2023–24 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:24) field test, including items to be administered in the reinterview survey follow-up. Content in the NPSAS:24 field test student survey is primarily drawn from the NPSAS:20 full-scale survey. However,

  • content specific to the NPSAS:20 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS) cohort, and the COVID-19 module from NPSAS:20, has been removed;

  • content specific to the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B) cohort has been reintroduced or adapted from prior full-scale surveys, including NPSAS:16, BPS:20/22, and B&B:16/20;

  • new content of interest tailored specifically to the B&B cohort (e.g., COVID-19 impacts on plans to teach, etc.) has been added; and

  • additional constructs of interest have been added to respond to stakeholder interest (e.g., participation in gig economy, and survey indicators of diversity, equity, and inclusion).

Most questions in the NPSAS:24 field test survey remain unchanged from how they were administered in NPSAS:20 full-scale and the other prior NCES postsecondary studies listed above. The survey includes new content based on results from NPSAS:24 Pretesting (OMB# 1850-0803 v. 317) conducted in the summer of 2022 and feedback from the first NPSAS:24 Technical Review Panel (TRP) meeting held in July 2022. A summary report of qualitative findings from the pretesting can be found in Appendix G. Revisions to the survey are intended to reflect current research goals and improve data quality.

Table 1 lists all items in the instrument and provides a summary of changes. The “Change” column indicates whether NPSAS:24 field test student survey items have changed from the prior study in which they were administered. Added items (“A”), in green font, are new to the postsecondary studies, have been tested during survey pretesting activities, and will be fielded for the first time in the NPSAS:24 field test survey. Revised items (“R”), in purple font, have been modified from their previous version. Dropped items (“D”), in red font, are items administered in NPSAS:20 full-scale that are removed from the NPSAS:24 field test. The “Rationale” column explains how and why specific content changed; if the item has not been revised from its previous version in the postsecondary studies, “No change” is indicated in this column. The “Source” column identifies the most recent study in which the item was included. However, all sources are noted in this column if not from a NCES postsecondary study.

The last two columns in table 1 identify items that will only be administered to the B&B cohort (“B&B only” column) and items that will be included in the NPSAS:24 reinterview survey (“Reinterview” column). A small number of items related to sex and gender identity confirmation will only be administered in the reinterview survey and are notated with an asterisk (*) in the “Reinterview” column.

Any added or revised items, items to only be administered to the B&B cohort, and items included in the reinterview survey are individually listed in the hyperlinked table of contents on page I-15.

INFCON
Recently, we sent you material about the U.S. Department of Education's National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS). The NPSAS survey is being conducted to determine how students and their families pay for education beyond high school. Some students, such as those who complete their bachelor’s degree requirements between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, and other special groups, may be selected for a follow-up study.

The survey takes about 30 minutes depending on your answers [{if not on OFAC do not pay list} and as a token of our appreciation, you will receive $[incentive amount] for participating].

In addition to your survey responses, we collect other enrollment-related data from your institution and sources such as student loan databases and admissions testing agencies. Your responses, combined with any student record information, may be used for statistical purposes and will not be disclosed, or used, in personally identifiable forms for any other purpose, except as required by law (20 U.S.C. §9573 and 6 U.S.C. §151).

Sometimes there are opportunities for researchers to use data from previous studies or to share data with each other if they are conducting similar research. For these reasons, we may use or share your deidentified data with other researchers. If we do so, we will not contact you to ask for your additional informed consent.

Your participation is voluntary and will not affect any aid or other benefits that you may receive. You may decline to answer any question or stop the survey at any time. The risks of participating in this study are small and relate to data security. We have the following precautions in place - your responses are stored within an enhanced security network, only authorized project staff have access to data, and all staff have participated in privacy training, signed confidentiality agreements, and undergone rigorous background checks. All personally identifiable information will be kept in secure and protected data files, and will be separate from the responses you've already provided in this survey.

If you are located in the European Union (EU) or the United Kingdom (UK), you have rights under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and the UK Data Protection Act. By providing consent, you agree and understand that your personal information will be transferred to a data center located in the United States.

If you wish to exercise any of your data subjects’ rights or have any additional questions regarding the use and protection of your information or have any questions about this the study, you may contact the study's director, Jennifer Wine, at 800-723-8942. For questions about your rights as a participant, please contact RTI’s Office of Research Protection toll-free at 866-214-2043.

  2 = Not now, but I want to participate at a later time

Help Text:

You are one of approximately 6,000 students who will be taking part in this study.

The risk of participating in this study is small and relates to data security. However, we have put strict security procedures in place to protect your information. Procedures include: 

  1. Responses are collected and stored on RTI's network which complies with all applicable security and privacy regulations including strong encryption during internet transmission (Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol). 

  2. All data entry modules are password protected and require the user to log in before accessing confidential data. 

  3. Project staff are subject to large fines and/or imprisonment if they knowingly publish or communicate any individually identifiable information.

Degrees:

An associate's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time, college-level work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A doctoral degree - research/scholarship is a PhD or other doctoral degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include EdD, DMA, DBA, DSc, DA, or DM, and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree - professional practice is a doctoral degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (DC or DCM); dentistry (DDS or DMD); law (LLB or JD); medicine (MD); optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO); pharmacy (PharmD); podiatry (DPM, PodD, DP); or veterinary medicine (DVM), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree - other is a doctoral degree that does not meet the definition of a doctor's degree-research/scholarship or a doctor's degree-professional practice.

Certificates and Diplomas:

Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records.

A post-baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management.

A post-master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level.

Not enrolled for a degree or certificate:

Undergraduate level classes means taking courses at the undergraduate level but not formally enrolling in a degree or certificate program of any sort.

Graduate level classes are for students who already hold an undergraduate degree or certificate and who are enrolled in graduate-level courses beyond a bachelor's degree, but who are not formally enrolled in a graduate degree program.

Help Text:

An undergraduate certificate or diploma usually takes less than two years and is usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records.

An associate's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time, college-level work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

A post-baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management.

A master's degree (MA, MS, MBA, MFA, etc.) usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A post-master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level.

If you have previously earned any type of doctoral degree listed below, please select Doctoral degree.

A doctoral degree - research/scholarship is a PhD or other doctoral degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include EdD, DMA, DBA, DSc, DA, or DM, and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree - professional practice is a doctoral degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (DC or DCM); dentistry (DDS or DMD); law (LLB or JD); medicine (MD); optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO); pharmacy (PharmD); Podiatry (DPM, PodD, DP); or veterinary medicine (DVM), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree - other is a doctoral degree that does not meet the definition of a doctoral degree-research/scholarship or a doctoral degree-professional practice.

Undergraduate level courses, no undergraduate degree or certificate expected means taking courses at the undergraduate level but not expecting to formally enroll in a degree or certificate program of any sort.

Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records.

An associate's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time, college-level work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

Graduate level courses, no graduate degree or certificate expected means already holding an undergraduate degree or certificate and enrolling in graduate-level courses beyond a bachelor's degree, but not expecting to formally enroll in a graduate degree program.

A post-baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization.

Help Text:
Answer
Yes if you or anyone in your family household received any of the following benefits at any time during 2020 or 2021: 
Medicaid provides health coverage to eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults, and people with disabilities. Medicaid is administered by states according to federal requirements and is funded jointly by states and the federal government. 


The
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income and resources. It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people who have little or no income and provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter.
The federal Food Stamp Program was renamed
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Some state program names may vary. States typically issue SNAP benefits through electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards that are used to purchase eligible food in authorized retail food stores, farmers' markets, etc. EBT cards work like debit cards.
TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) payments provide financial assistance to families with limited resources. These benefits help meet a family's basic needs like food, clothing, rent and utilities while they work toward self-sufficiency. The assistance is time-limited (typically a maximum of 60 months). TANF may have a different name in your parents' state.
Household size and family income are used to determine eligibility for free or reduced price school lunches in the
Free and Reduced Price School Lunch program.
WIC (the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) is an assistance program for low-income pregnant women or new mothers, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk. WIC provides nutrition education, supplemental foods, health screenings, and health care referrals.

Help Text:

This question will help us better understand the experiences of people of all gender identities. 

Gender includes gender identity and gender expression. Gender identity means one's inner sense of one's own gender, which may or may not match the sex assigned at birth. Different people choose to express their gender identity differently. For some, gender may be expressed through, for example, dress, grooming, mannerisms, speech patterns, and social interactions. Gender expression usually ranges between masculine and feminine, and some transgender people express their gender consistent with how they identify internally, rather than in accordance with the sex they were assigned at birth.   

Transgender: When a person's birth sex and gender do not match, they might think of themselves as transgender. 

Nonbinary: Used to identify people whose gender may not conform to the sex they were assigned at birth. Often this term may be used by people who identify their gender as something other than man or woman. Their gender may fall somewhere between man and woman, or may fall outside the traditional g

ender distinctions.

Help Text:

Indicate whether you participated in any of the following as part of your undergraduate education.

An internship, co-op, field experience, student teaching, or clinical placement, is a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment, and it can be paid or unpaid.

A formal leadership role in a student organization or group, involves holding a formal role in planning and implementing activities and meetings for the student organization or group.

A learning community or some other formal program where groups of students take two or more classes together could be programs that encourage integration of learning across courses, and involve students with issues beyond the classroom by exploring common topics and/or common readings of a discipline.

An example of a research project with a faculty member, is one where students and faculty members collaborate on research that may or may not be required to pass a course or to complete program requirements. This research could be faculty-led research or student-led research.

Culminating senior experiences, such as a capstone course, senior project or thesis, or comprehensive exam, often ask students to create a project, take a course, or take a comprehensive exam which integrates and applies what they've learned throughout their college experience.

A college or university teacher education program is a formal, campus-based program designed for individuals who seek to qualify for a state teacher certification. 

An online-only certification program is similar to a college or university teacher education program, except the majority or all of the content is delivered online. These programs typically have no face-to-face meetings. 

State approved alternative teacher education programs, also called non-traditional teacher education programs, include programs such as Teach for America (TFA), Troops to Teachers (TTT), and local induction programs. These programs typically include teacher training and certification, along with a teaching placement.

EurekaFacts, LLC. is a small business that specializes in market research. EurekaFacts, LLC. is permitted to work with RTI International to invite students to participate in a focus group to learn more about their experiences after completing this survey.

A focus group is a research method that brings together a small group of people to answer questions in a moderated setting. This means that the focus group moderator may ask a specific person to respond to a question, then encourage other participants in the focus group to build upon that response and add their own points of view to the conversation.

Your responses to the NPSAS survey will always remain confidential because your privacy is protected by federal law and information we have collected cannot be disclosed or used in identifiable form, except as required by law (20 U.S.C. § 9573).

Your participation in the future focus group is completely voluntary. It does not affect the token of appreciation you will receive from your participation in the NPSAS study. If you do elect to participate in a focus group, you will be informed of the purpose, and how your data will be used and protected. Your NPSAS survey responses will not be associated with your focus group responses.
