Comparison Chart


Reporting Reminders:

  • Based on the information reported on the previous screens for Group 1 (all undergraduates) students and Group 2 (full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates students), this comparison chart seeks to help institutions check their reported data. Assuming that the information reported on Groups 1 and 2 is correct, then the calculated fields for ‘All Other Undergraduates students’ should be the balance (Group 1 minus Group 2). Similarly, comparison chart values for all degree/certificate and all non-degree/ certificate undergraduates should match the total reported in columns 1-4 in Section 1, Part B. If the balance does not check with your institution’s calculations, please correct your reported numbers for Groups 1 and 2 before moving forward with the completion of the SFA survey component.

  • Data for all degree/certificate seeking undergraduate students and full-time, first-time undergraduate students are published on College Navigator.

Note:

  • Data for the 'Aall Oother degree/certificate Uundergraduates' students and all non-degree/certificate undergraduate students will appear in the IPEDS Data Center for data users, but not in College Navigator.

Section 1: Comparison Chart

Comparison Chart


Reporting Reminders:

  • Based on the information reported on the previous screens for Group 1 (all undergraduates) students and Group 2 (full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates students), this comparison chart seeks to help institutions check their reported data. Assuming that the information reported on Groups 1 and 2 is correct, then the calculated fields for ‘All Other Undergraduates students’ should be the balance (Group 1 minus Group 2). Similarly, comparison chart values for all degree/certificate-seeking and all non-degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates should match the total reported in columns 1-4 in Section 1, Part B. If the balance does not check with your institution’s calculations, please correct your reported numbers for Groups 1 and 2 before moving forward with the completion of the SFA survey component.

  • Data for all degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students and full-time, first-time undergraduate students are published on College Navigator.

Note:

  • Data for the 'Aall Oother degree/certificate- seeking Uundergraduates' students and all non-degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students will appear in the IPEDS Data Center for data users, but not in College Navigator.

Institutions that had undergraduate students enrolled during the prior academic year must report.


Changes in reporting:

The following changes were implemented for the 2023-24 data collection period:

  • Removed the ‘Groups terminology’

  • Renumbered lines on screens and in instructions

  • Rephrased “room and board” terminology in survey materials to “food and housing,” including Glossary terms

  • Added FAQ regarding inclusion of incarcerated students

  • Revised FAQ regarding experimental site participants


General Instructions

What You Will Need


The institution’s financial aid system should be the starting point for reporting to this IPEDS component.


Data providers for this component should be familiar with college and university practices associated with student financial aid. In general, there are two types of financial aid data that will be requested in this component. These types are:


  • Numbers of students that meet certain conditions

  • Total aid dollars awarded to these students


To complete this component, data providers will need the following:


1. Financial aid information about the following student categories groups:

    • Group 1: All undergraduate students

    • Group 2: Of Group 1, Full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students (FTFT) who paid in-district, in-state, and out-of-state tuition, if applicable

    • Group 3: Of Group 2, FTFT undergraduate students who paid the lower of in-state/in-district tuition rate and were awarded any grant/scholarship aid from the federal government, state/local government, or the institution

    • Group 4: Of Group 2, FTFT undergraduate students who paid the lower of in-state/in-district tuition rate and were awarded any Title IV federal student aid



Shape11


2. Living arrangement information for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who (paid the lower of in-state or in-district tuition rate for public institutions) and were awarded grant or scholarship aid during the reporting period


3. Living arrangement information for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who (paid the lower of in-state or in-district tuition rate for public institutions) and were awarded Title IV federal student aid during the reporting period


4. Income levels for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students (paid the lower of in-state or in-district tuition rate for public institutions) and were awarded Title IV federal student aid during the reporting period


About the Data

Five different types of data appear in this component. There are data:

  • That institutions provide from their own financial aid records

  • That are prior-year data, shown in red, which can be used as a comparison with the current year's data (i.e., the data that is being reported)

  • That are carried forward from the IPEDS Fall Enrollment (EF) component and the IPEDS Institutional Characteristics (IC) survey components that your institution completed in the most recent collections of those components

  • That are carried forward from one part of the Student Financial Aid survey component to another part to ensure that the data are internally consistent

  • That are calculated from the other data elements


In the latter two cases, the data provider should check that the data that are carried forward and calculated are consistent with the data in the institution's underlying financial aid records. If the data carried forward or calculated are not consistent with the institution's records, then an error in data entry may have occurred.


Context Boxes

Optional context boxes throughout the component allow institutions to provide more information regarding reported data. Note that the information in these context boxes may be posted on the U.S. Department of Education’s College Navigator website. NCES will review entries in these context boxes for applicability and appropriateness before posting them on College Navigator. However, institutions should ensure that entries in these context boxes are free from grammatical and spelling errors and are written so that they can be understood by students and parents.


Interactive Edits

This component contains interactive edits that will check for blank fields, invalid values, or values that fall outside expected ranges. Some error messages will require you to confirm or explain the values that you entered. Some error messages are fatal and will require you to contact the IPEDS Help Desk at (877) 225-2568 or [email protected] for resolution.


Coverage

Reporting Period

The financial aid data reported for this component should be for the prior academic year as defined by the institution, including cross-over financial aid award periods assigned to the prior academic year.


Student Cohort

For academic reporters, the student cohort covered by this component includes undergraduate students enrolled for the prior academic year as of October 15 or as of the institution’s official fall reporting date. For hybrid reporters, the student cohort covered includes undergraduate students enrolled in the prior academic year between August 1 and October 31.


What to Include

The following types of financial aid should be reported in this component:

  • Title IV aid: Title IV aid includes Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant, Federal Work Study (FWS), and the Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct Loan programs. Report 100% of student FSEOG and FWS award amounts. That is, include the federal and matching share, regardless of the source of the match. Also, FSEOG and FWS award amounts should not exceed program amounts budgeted for the award year. That is, if the institution’s packaging policy includes an over-awarding strategy to account for attrition to make sure all funds are expended, exclude these amounts from award amounts reported to IPEDS.

  • Federal grants (grants/educational assistance funds): Grants provided by federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Education, including Title IV federal student aid program grants such as Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), and Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants. Also include need-based and merit-based educational assistance funds and training vouchers provided from (a) other federal agencies and/or (b) federally- sponsored educational benefits programs.


Do not include veterans’ education benefits, as defined in section 480(c) of the HEA, as they are no longer treated as Estimated Financial Assistance (EFA) for Federal Student Aid's purposes. For more information, visit https://ifap.ed.gov/electronic-announcements/08-13-2009-general-subject-guidance-federal-veterans-education-benefits.

  • Federal Work Study: Money earned by students based on financial need to meet postsecondary education costs who are employed part-time, typically in education related employment or community service activities on- campus or off-campus at the institution, or a private for-profit or nonprofit business, agency, or organization. Earnings include the federal and nonfederal share of wages, benefits, withholdings, and other employment deductions. It includes credit and non-credit employment. Examples of types of employment include, but is not limited to, assistantships, apprenticeships, internships, externships, and cooperative education experiences. While it does not include institutional and state work study programs, the non-federal share includes all state and local funds used to match these programs. See applicable federal, state, local, and institutional program rules for additional information.

  • Federal loans to students: Money borrowed from the federal government that must be repaid for which the student is the designated borrower. This category of aid includes all Title IV federal student programs such as Subsidized Direct Loans and Unsubsidized Direct Loans. It also includes Health Professions Student Loans, Loans for Disadvantaged Students, Nursing Student Loans, and Primary Care Loans. Do not include PLUS loans and other federal loans not made directly to the student.

  • State/local government grants (grants/scholarships/waivers): Grants that were awarded by your state such as Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnerships (LEAP) (formerly SSIGs), the Special Leveraging Educational Assistance Program (SLEAP), the Grants for Access and Persistence (GAP) Program, and Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarships. Include merit-based grants or scholarships that were provided by your state or local government. Also include tuition and fee waivers for which your institution was reimbursed by a state or local government agency.

  • Institutional grants or scholarships (scholarships/waivers): Grants, scholarships, and fellowships granted and funded by the institution and/or individual departments within the institution and are limited to students attending your institution. Include scholarships targeted to certain individuals (e.g., based on state of residence, major, or participation in athletic activities) for which the institution designates the recipient. Also include institutional tuition and fee waivers for which your institution was not reimbursed by a state or local government agency. This is not intended to include Federal Work Study.

  • Institutional loans to students: Short-term and long-term education loans to students made by the institution or its Schools, Colleges, or student organizations, including emergency education loans backed by a surety (i.e., financial guarantee). Exclude loans not made directly to the student, loans contingent on the student’s financial aid (also known as payment deferments) not backed by another source of security, and Income share agreements.

  • Private grants or scholarships: Grants or scholarships to students awarded and paid by an outside organization but directed through the institution's financial aid office and/or business office (e.g., Rotary Club Scholarship).

  • Private loans to students: Monies that must be repaid to the lending institution for which the student is the designated borrower. Include all institutionally and privately sponsored loans. Do not include loans that are not made directly to the student. Do not include loans contingent on the student’s financial aid (also known as payment deferments) not backed by another source of security.


NOTE: In this component, "aid awarded" refers to grant or scholarship aid that was awarded to students or to loans awarded to students. For reporting grant or scholarship aid, institutions should report on aid that was awarded to students. This amount may be different from the amount that was actually disbursed to students. For example, a student may be awarded grant or scholarship aid at the beginning of the academic year but then leave the institution before the entire amount is disbursed. In this case, institutions should report the original amount of grant or scholarship aid that was awarded. For reporting loans to students, institutions should continue to report on loans that were awarded to and accepted by the student.


Note also that different types of financial aid should be reported for different groups of students. Please review the instructions and the screens carefully to ensure that you are reporting the correct types of financial aid in the appropriate parts.


Institutions need to report aid in this survey component such that the net price calculations shown on College Navigator and used for the College Affordability and Transparency lists are a reflection of what students actually pay.


For total aid amounts, report to the nearest whole dollar and omit cents. For student counts, an unduplicated count should be given within a given aid category (e.g., Federal Pell Grants). However, a student can appear in more than one aid category.


What NOT to Include

Do not report student counts or aid amounts for the following:

  • Students who were only graduate students at the institution during the reporting period

  • Students who were enrolled exclusively in courses not creditable toward a certificate/degree

  • Students who were enrolled exclusively in Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

  • Students who were exclusively auditing classes

  • Students in U.S. Department of Education Federal Pell Grant Experimental sites projects.


Do not report:

  • Federal Work Study amounts into any total aid amounts

  • ROTC aid, which are excluded from estimated financial assistance, also known as EFA, in any total aid amounts

  • Loans that are made to someone other than the student

  • Military/veterans aid in Section 1 because such aid is ONLY reported in Section 2

  • Experimental Sites Pell grant federal financial aid amounts



Detailed Instructions

This section provides line-by-line instructions for each part of the Student Financial Aid component.


Part A - Establish Your Groups Student Counts

Part A establishes the number of student counts s in various groups. Note that the data you report on this screen will be carried forward to other parts of the Student Financial Aid component.


Higher Education Emergency Relief Act (HEERF) grants funded under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act are to be counted as federal aid, but not Title IV aid. As such, students who only receive HEERF grants should not be included in Group 4 for full-time, first-time degree certificate-seeking undergraduate students’ counts or award amounts in Part D, Part E, Part F, or Part G since the data is used for net price calculations.


Instructions:

Note: The aid categories in this section are further disaggregated into subcategories. Because students may be awarded more than one type of aid, the sum of the values you enter in the subcategories will not necessarily equal the value you enter in the aid overall category. However, the total number of students reported for the aid category each subcategory cannot exceed the sum of all aid types in the subcategoryies. (For example, the number of students who were awarded federal grants cannot exceed the sum of the number of students who were awarded Federal Pell Grants and the number who were awarded other federal grants).

In this part, you will be asked to report living arrangement information for Group 3 full-time, first-time, degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students enrolled in the prior fall for the prior academic year as defined by the institution who (paid the lower of in-state or in-district tuition rate for public institutions) and were awarded grant or scholarship aid from the following sources: the federal government, state/local government, or the institution. The living arrangement categories used in this component are the same categories used to describe living arrangements for Federal Student Aid purposes. Students indicate their intended living arrangement on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).


Institutions should use the most recently available information regarding student living arrangements. For example, a student may have indicated on her or his FAFSA or an institutional financial aid application that she or he planned to live at home with family. But when the student enrolled, she or he decided to live on campus. Although the student may not have modified the FAFSA to reflect the updated living arrangement, the institution may have more recent information in its financial aid system indicating that the student lived on campus according to the most recent aid package for that student during the financial aid year. In this case, the institution should classify this student as an on-campus student.


A student should be counted in only one category—the one that the institution used most recently to develop or modify that student’s financial aid package. If a student in this group did not complete the FAFSA, that student may appear as having an unknown living arrangement in Line 04 01d. However, if the institution knows the living arrangement for the student, then the student should be reported in the appropriate category.

This part is intended to collects information used to estimate the average net price for Group 4 these students in Part G.


Group 4 students are full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates enrolled in the prior fall who paid the lower of in-state or in-district tuition rate and were awarded any Title IV federal student aid (i.e., students who were awarded federal grant aid or who were awarded federal work study or federal student loans). Students who were awarded only grant or scholarship aid from private or other sources, or awarded HEERF grants only should not be included in this group.


Title IV federal student aid includes the following:

  • Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant

  • Federal Work Study (FWS)

  • Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct Loan programs.


Note: Include FWS recipients in student counts and award amounts but do not include FWS award amounts. Report 100% of student FSEOG and FWS award amounts. That is, include the federal and matching share, regardless of the source of the match. Also, FSEOG and FWS award amounts should not exceed program amounts budgeted for the award year. That is, if the institution’s packaging policy includes an over-awarding strategy to account for attrition to make sure all funds are expended, exclude unfunded budgeted these amounts from award amounts reported to IPEDS.


Emergency grants funded under the CARES, CRRSA, and ARP Acts should NOT be included for Group 4 full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students awarded any Title IV federal student aid in Part E under "grant or scholarship aid from the following sources: the federal government, state/local government, or the institution," as inclusion of these grants would skew net price calculations.

A student should be counted in only one category—the one that the institution used most recently to develop or modify that student’s financial aid package. If a student in this group did not complete the FAFSA, that student may appear as having an unknown living arrangement in Line 04 01d. However, if the institution knows the living arrangement for the student, then the student should be reported in the appropriate category.


In this part, you will also be asked to report the number of students in Group 4 and the total amount of grant or scholarship aid they were awarded by income level. To determine the income level of the student, use the income that was used by the institution’s financial aid office to determine the student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC). For dependent students this will include the parents’ adjusted gross income and the student’s adjusted gross income. For independent students this will include the student’s adjusted gross income.

In the fields provided For each income category, report the number of Group 4 full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students awarded any Title IV federal student aid (column 1); the number of Group 4 these students who were awarded any grant or scholarship aid from the federal government, state/local government, or the institution (column 2); and the total amount of grant or scholarship aid from the federal government, state/local government, or the institution awarded to these students in column 2 by income level (column 3).

This part is intended to summarizes the information used to estimate the average net price for Group 3 full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students awarded grant or scholarship aid from the federal government, state/local government, or the institution.


Group 3 students are all full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students enrolled in the prior fall who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from the following sources: the federal government, state/local government, or the institution. For public institutions with varied tuition, Group 3 includes only those students who paid the lower of in-state or in-district tuition rate.


As required by the HEA, as amended (2008), the average net price for Group 3 these students will be posted on College Navigator. In addition, the average net price calculated for this group will be used in the U.S. Department of Education's College Affordability and Transparency lists.


The components used to estimate the average net price include the average total cost of attendance and the average grant or scholarship aid awarded to Group 3 full-time, first-time students. The total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (Line 01), books and supplies (Line 02) and the weighted average by living arrangement for room and board food and housing, and other expenses (Lines 03-05). Information about cost of attendance is carried forward from data that your institution reported in the Institutional Characteristics survey component of IPEDS. If you did not enter this information and have questions about the values entered here, contact your institution’s IPEDS Keyholder.

Section 2. Military Servicemembers and Veteran Students with Benefits


Purpose of Survey Component

To meet the requirements of Executive Order No. 13607, Establishing Principles of Excellence for Educational Institutions Serving Service Members, Veterans, Spouses, and Other Family Members and the Improving Transparency of Education Opportunities for Veterans Act, the U.S. Department of Education, Department of Defense, and Department of Veteran’s Administration collaborated with the education community to develop consumer information and outcome measures to help military students and their families make informed decisions about attending postsecondary schools. The purpose of the Student Financial Aid (SFA) component is to collect information about the financial aid provided to various groups of undergraduates in order to meet requirements of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Starting in Beginning with the 2014-15 data collection year, SFA expanded to collect information on the federal dollars supporting military servicemember and veteran undergraduate and graduate students.


As presented in the Technical Review Panel Report #36 (March 2012), the increase in beneficiaries and federal dollars has led to an increased demand for information to help prospective students decide where to use their educational benefits, researchers to study the impact of the programs on college outcomes, and policymakers to assess the effectiveness of benefits programs and return on investment.


Who Must Report

All registered IPEDS institutions that educate military servicemembers, veterans, or eligible dependents receiving any Tuition Assistance Program or Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits. Report only those that RECEIVED the benefit(s).


General Instructions

What You Will Need

If you are unfamiliar with these educational benefits, a general synopsis of each program is found below.


1. Post-9/11 GI Bill

  • Effective August 1, 2009, benefit provides payment of tuition and fees, monthly housing allowance, and books and supplies stipend.

  • Tuition and fees are paid directly to the institution on behalf the students; thus, institutions should know which students have Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits and the amount of benefits received at the institution.

  • Educational benefits can be transferred to a dependent.

  • Program expanded in 2011 to cover non-degree-granting programs, apprenticeships/on-the-job training programs, flight training programs, and training correspondence.

  • The Yellow Ribbon program through the Post-9/11 GI Bill is an institutional aid matching program only for tuition and fees for students attending participating institutions.

  • For more information, visit the Department of Veteran Affairs, Post-9/11 GI Bill Benefits website http://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill/post911_gibill.asp


2. Department of Defense Tuition Assistance Program (DOD TAP)

  • For active duty servicemembers, reservists called to active duty, and their spouses.

  • Educational payments cover only tuition and fees and are made directly to the institution.

  • GI Bill benefits can be used to supplement costs not covered by this program.

  • For more information, visit the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance Program website http://www.dodmou.com/ and see 38 USC § 36 (2020).


Consult and verify the data with your institutional representative who certifies these benefits. This individual or office may not be in the student financial aid office.


About the Data

The Post-9/11 GI Bill and Tuition Assistance programs may only highlight two of many educational benefits provided to military servicemembers and veterans. However, from a national perspective, Post-9/11 GI Bill and Tuition Assistance programs are more likely to be found across over 6,000 IPEDS institutions.


For Yellow Ribbon participating institutions, the institutional aid provided through the Post-9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon matching program should NOT be included in the Post-9/11 GI Bill’s Total dollar amount of benefits/assistance awarded through the institution.


Coverage

Reporting Period

The data reported for the Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit questions should be for the prior academic year, from July 1 to June 30.


The data reported for the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance Program questions should be for the prior academic year, from October 1 to September 30.


Detailed Instruction

This section provides line-by-line instructions for the Military Servicemember and Veteran Benefits questions.


For the Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit, please provide in the first column the number of students receiving the benefit during the July 1-June 30 reporting period (see coverage above). In the second column, provide the total dollar amount for each benefit during the same reporting period.


For the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance Program benefit, please provide in the first column the number of students receiving the benefit during the October 1-Septermber 30 reporting period (see coverage above). In the second column, provide the total dollar amount for each benefit during the same reporting period.


If your institution did not have any student beneficiaries for one of the benefit programs, enter a zero (0) in the cell. In other words, do NOT leave the cell blank for a program that did not have any beneficiaries.


For Yellow Ribbon participating institutions, the institutional aid provided through the Post-9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon matching program should NOT be included in the Post-9/11 GI Bill’s Total dollar amount of benefits/assistance awarded through the institution.

Section 1. SFA - Undergraduate Students


Who Must Report

Institutions that had undergraduate students enrolled during the prior academic year must report.


Changes in reporting:

The following changes were implemented for the 2023-24 data collection period:

  • Removed the ‘Groups terminology’

  • Renumbered lines on screens and in instructions

  • Reiterated instructions on what is reported in each part for specific students and reporting periods

  • Rephrased “room and board” terminology in survey materials to “food and housing,” including Glossary terms

  • Added FAQ regarding inclusion of incarcerated students

  • Revised FAQ regarding experimental site participants


General Instructions

What You Will Need

The institution’s financial aid system should be the starting point for reporting to this IPEDS survey component.


Data providers for this component should be familiar with college and university practices associated with student financial aid. In general, there are two types of financial aid data that will be requested in this component. These types are:


  • Numbers of students that meet certain conditions

  • Total aid dollars awarded to these students


To complete this component, data providers will need the following:


1. Financial aid information about the following student groups:

    • Group 1: All undergraduate students

    • Group 2: Of Group 1, Full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students (FTFT) who paid in-district, in-state, and out-of-state tuition, if applicable

    • Group 3: Of Group 2, FTFT undergraduate students who paid the lower of in-state/in-district tuition rate and were awarded any grant/scholarship aid from the federal government, state/local government, or the institution

    • Group 4: Of Group 2, FTFT undergraduate students who paid the lower of in-state/in-district tuition rate and were awarded any Title IV federal student aid


Shape12

2. Living arrangement information for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who (paid the lower of in-state/in-district tuition rate for public institutions and) were awarded grant or scholarship aid during the reporting period


3. Living arrangement information for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who (paid the lower of in-state/in-district tuition rate for public institutions and) were awarded Title IV federal student aid during the reporting period


4. Income levels for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who (paid the lower of in-state/in-district tuition rate for public institutions and) were awarded Title IV federal student aid during the reporting period


About the Data

Five different types of data appear in this component. There are data:

  • That institutions provide from their own financial aid records

  • That are prior-year data, shown in red, which can be used as a comparison with the current year's data (i.e., the data that is being reported)

  • That are carried forward from the IPEDS 12-month Enrollment (E12), component and the IPEDS Institutional Characteristics (IC) survey components that your institution completed in the most recent collections of those components

  • That are carried forward from one part of the Student Financial Aid survey component to another part to ensure that the data are internally consistent

  • That are calculated from the other data elements


In the latter two cases, the data provider should check that the data that are carried forward and calculated are consistent with the data in the institution's underlying financial aid records. If the data carried forward or calculated are not consistent with the institution's records, then an error in data entry may have occurred.


Context Boxes

Optional context boxes throughout the survey component allow institutions to provide more information regarding reported data. Note that the information in these context boxes may be posted on the U.S. Department of Education’s College Navigator website. NCES will review entries in these context boxes for applicability and appropriateness before posting them on College Navigator. However, institutions should ensure that entries in these context boxes are free from grammatical and spelling errors and are written so that they can be understood by students and parents.


Interactive Edits

This survey component contains interactive edits that will check for blank fields, invalid values, or values that fall outside expected ranges. Some error messages will require you to confirm or explain the values that you entered. Some error messages are fatal and will require you to contact the IPEDS Help Desk at (877) 225-2568 or [email protected] for resolution.


Coverage

Reporting Period

The data reported for this component should be for the prior academic year and includes crossover award periods assigned to the prior academic year. For program reporters this typically coincides with the financial aid award year, which the purposes of reporting to SFA, the aid year period runs from July 1 through June 30.


Program reporters will report students' aid data for an institutionally defined academic year. This is the academic year length, in weeks, used by your institution to calculate your Pell budget. It must begin within the aid year period specified above and will vary from student to student depending on when he or she enrolled.


Student Cohort

The student cohort covered by this component includes undergraduate students enrolled any time during the prior academic year (the aid year period from July 1 through June 30).


What to include

The following types of financial aid should be reported in this component:

  • Title IV aid: Title IV aid includes Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant, Federal Work Study (FWS), and the Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct Loan programs. Report 100% of student FSEOG and FWS award amounts. That is, include the federal and matching share, regardless of the source of the match. Also, FSEOG and FWS award amounts should not exceed program amounts budgeted for the award year. That is, if the institution’s packaging policy includes an over-awarding strategy to account for attrition to make sure all funds are expended, exclude these amounts from award amounts reported to IPEDS.

  • Federal grants (grants/educational assistance funds): Grants provided by federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Education, including Title IV federal student aid program grants such as Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), and Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants. Also include need-based and merit-based educational assistance funds and training vouchers provided from (a) other federal agencies and/or (b) federally-sponsored educational benefits programs.

  • Federal Work Study: Money earned by students based on financial need to meet postsecondary education costs who are employed part-time, typically in education related employment or community service activities on- campus or off-campus at the institution, or a private for-profit or nonprofit business, agency, or organization. Earnings include the federal and nonfederal share of wages, benefits, withholdings, and other employment deductions. It includes credit and non-credit employment. Examples of types of employment include, but is not limited to, assistantships, apprenticeships, internships, externships, and cooperative education experiences. While it does not include institutional and state work study programs, the non-federal share includes all state and local funds used to match these programs. See applicable federal, state, local, and institutional program rules for additional information.

  • Federal loans to students: Money borrowed from the federal government that must be repaid for which the student is the designated borrower. This type category of aid includes all Title IV federal student programs such as Subsidized Direct and Unsubsidized Direct Loans. It also includes Health Professions Student Loans, Loans for Disadvantaged Students, Nursing Student Loans, and Primary Care Loans. Do not include PLUS loans and other federal loans not made directly to the student.

  • State/local government grants (grants/scholarships/waivers): Grants that were awarded by your state such as Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnerships (LEAP) (formerly SSIGs), the Special Leveraging Educational Assistance Program (SLEAP), the Grants for Access and Persistence (GAP) Program, and Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarships. Include merit-based grants or scholarships that were provided by your state or local government. Also include tuition and fee waivers for which your institution was reimbursed by a state or local government agency.

  • Institutional grants or scholarships (scholarships/waivers): Grants, scholarships, and fellowships granted and funded by the institution and/or individual departments within the institution and are limited to students attending your institution. Include scholarships targeted to certain individuals (e.g., based on state of residence, major, or participation in athletic activities) for which the institution designates the recipient. Also include institutional tuition and fee waivers for which your institution was not reimbursed by a state or local government agency. This is not intended to include Federal Work Study.

  • Institutional loans to students: Short-term and long-term education loans to students made by the institution or its Schools, Colleges, or student organizations, including emergency education loans backed by a surety (i.e., financial guarantee). Exclude loans not made directly to the student, loans contingent on the student’s financial aid (also known as payment deferments) not backed by another source of security, and Income share agreements.

  • Private grants or scholarships: Grants or scholarships to students awarded and paid by an outside organization but directed through the institution's financial aid office and/or business office (e.g., Rotary Club Scholarship).

  • Private loans to students: Monies that must be repaid to the lending institution for which the student is the designated borrower. Include all institutionally and privately sponsored loans. Do not include loans that are not made directly to the student. Do not include loans contingent on the student’s financial aid (also known as payment deferments) not backed by another source of security.


NOTE: In this component, "aid awarded" refers to grant or scholarship aid that was awarded to students or to loans awarded to students. For reporting grant or scholarship aid, institutions should report on aid that was awarded to students. This amount may be different from the amount that was actually disbursed to students. For example, a student may be awarded grant or scholarship aid at the beginning of the academic year but then leave the institution before the entire amount is disbursed. In this case, institutions should report the original amount of grant or scholarship aid that was awarded. For reporting loans to students, institutions should continue to report on loans that were awarded to and accepted by the student.


Note also that different types of financial aid should be reported for different groups of students. Please review the instructions and the screens carefully to ensure that you are reporting the correct types of financial aid in the appropriate parts.


Institutions need to report aid in this component such that the net price calculations shown on College Navigator and used for the College Affordability and Transparency lists are a reflection of what students actually pay.


For total aid amounts, report to the nearest whole dollar and omit cents. For student counts, an unduplicated count should be given within a given aid category (e.g., Federal Pell Grants). However, a student can appear in more than one aid category.


What NOT to Include

Do not report student counts or aid amounts for the following:

  • Students who were only graduate students at the institution during the reporting period

  • Students who were enrolled exclusively in courses not creditable toward a certificate/degree

  • Students who were enrolled exclusively in Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

  • Students who were exclusively auditing classes

  • Students in U.S. Department of Education Federal Pell Grant Experimental Sites projects


Do not report:

  • Federal Work Study amounts into any total aid amounts

  • ROTC aid, which are excluded from estimated financial assistance, also known as EFA, in any total aid amounts

  • Loans that are made to someone other than the student

  • Military/veterans aid in Section 1 because such aid is ONLY reported in Section 2

  • Experimental Pell grant amounts



Detailed Instructions

This section provides line-by-line instructions for each part of the Student Financial Aid survey component.


Part A - Establish Your Groups Student Counts

Part A establishes the number of student counts s in various groups. Note that the data you report on this screen will be carried forward to other parts of the Student Financial Aid component.


Higher Education Emergency Relief Act (HEERF) grants funded under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act are to be counted as federal aid, but not Title IV aid. As such, students who only receive HEERF grants should not be included in Group 4 for full-time, first-time degree certificate-seeking undergraduate students paying the lower of in-state or in-district tuition rate awarded any Title IV federal student aid.

Part C – Cost of Attendance Revision

If you have updates or made errors in the prior year reporting of cost of attendance in the IC component, you can make changes in the SFA component. However, there are no prior year revisions for the SFA component. Please refer to the instructions on reporting cost of attendance in the IC component.


Estimates of expenses for books and supplies, room and board food and housing, and other expenses are those from the Cost of Attendance report used by the financial aid office in determining financial need. Please talk to your financial aid office to get these numbers to ensure that you are reporting correctly.


Part D - Enter Financial Aid About Group 3 Full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students paying the lower of in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from the following sources: the federal government, state/local government, or the institution [Instruction ‘paying the lower of in-state or in-district tuition rate’ applicable to public institutions reporting varying tuition only]

This part is intended to collects information used to estimate the average net price for Group 3 these students in Part F.


Group 3 students are all full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students enrolled in the prior fall who paid the lower of in-state or in-district tuition rate and were awarded grant or scholarship aid from the following sources: federal government, state/local government, or the institution. Students who were awarded only grant or scholarship aid from private or other sources, or students who were awarded only non-grant aid, or awarded HEERF grants only should not be included in this group.


Emergency grants funded under the CARES, CRRSA, and ARP Acts should NOT be included for Group 3 these students in Part D under "Report the total amount of grant or scholarship aid from the federal government, state/local government, or the institution awarded to Group 3 these students," as inclusion of these grants would skew net price calculations.

The living arrangement categories used in this component are the same categories used to describe living arrangements for Federal Student Aid purposes. Students indicate their intended living arrangement on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).


Institutions should use the most recently available information regarding student living arrangements. For example, a student may have indicated on her or his FAFSA or an institutional financial aid application that she or he planned to live at home with family. But when the student enrolled, she or he decided to live on campus. Although the student may not have modified the FAFSA to reflect the updated living arrangement, the institution may have more recent information in its financial aid system indicating that the student lived on campus according to the most recent aid package for that student during the financial aid year. In this case, the institution should classify this student as an on-campus student.


A student should be counted in only one category—the one that the institution used most recently to develop or modify that student’s financial aid package. If a student in this group did not complete the FAFSA, that student may appear as having an unknown living arrangement in Line 04 01d. However, if the institution knows the living arrangement for the student, then the student should be reported in the appropriate category.

[Instructions related to the in-state or in-district rate applicable to public institutions with varied tuition only]


This part is intended to collects information used to estimate the average net price for Group 4 these students in Part G.


Group 4 students are full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates enrolled in your institution's largest program any time during the prior academic year who were awarded any Title IV federal student aid (i.e., students who were awarded federal grant aid or who were awarded federal work study or federal student loans). For public institutions, Group 4 includes only those students who paid the lower of in-state or in-district tuition rate. Students who were awarded only grant or scholarship aid from private or other sources, or awarded HEERF grants only should not be included in this group.


Title IV federal student aid includes the following:

  • Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant

  • Federal Work Study (FWS)

  • Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct Loan programs.


Note: Include FWS recipients in student counts and award amounts but do not include FWS award amounts. Report 100% of student FSEOG and FWS award amounts. That is, include the federal and matching share, regardless of the source of the match. Also, FSEOG and FWS award amounts should not exceed program amounts budgeted for the award year. That is, if the institution’s packaging policy includes an over-awarding strategy to account for attrition to make sure all funds are expended, exclude unfunded budgeted these amounts from award amounts reported to IPEDS.


Emergency grants funded under the CARES, CRRSA, and ARP Acts should NOT be included for Group 4 full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who were awarded any Title IV federal student aid in Part E under "grant or scholarship aid from the following sources: the federal government, state/local government, or the institution," as inclusion of these grants would skew net price calculations.

To meet the requirements of Executive Order No. 13607, Establishing Principles of Excellence for Educational Institutions Serving Service Members, Veterans, Spouses, and Other Family Members and the Improving Transparency of Education Opportunities for Veterans Act, the U.S. Department of Education, Department of Defense, and Department of Veteran’s Administration collaborated with the education community to develop consumer information and outcome measures to help military students and their families make informed decisions about attending postsecondary schools. The purpose of the Student Financial Aid (SFA) component is to collect information about the financial aid provided to various groups of undergraduates in order to meet requirements of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Starting in Beginning with the 2014-15 data collection year, SFA expanded to collect information on the federal dollars supporting military servicemember and veteran undergraduate and graduate students.


As presented in the Technical Review Panel Report #36 (March 2012), the increase in beneficiaries and federal dollars has led to an increased demand for information to help prospective students decide where to use their educational benefits, researchers to study the impact of the programs on college outcomes, and policymakers to assess the effectiveness of benefits programs and return on investment.


Who Must Report

All registered IPEDS institutions that educate military servicemembers, veterans, or eligible dependents receiving any Tuition Assistance Program or Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits. Report only those that RECEIVED the benefit(s).


General Instructions

What You Will Need

If you are unfamiliar with these educational benefits, a general synopsis of each program is found below.


1. Post-9/11 GI Bill

  • Effective August 1, 2009, benefit provides payment of tuition and fees, monthly housing allowance, and books and supplies stipend.

  • Tuition and fees are paid directly to the institution on behalf the students; thus, institutions should know which students have Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits and the amount of benefits received at the institution.

  • Educational benefits can be transferred to a dependent.

  • Program expanded in 2011 to cover non-degree-granting programs, apprenticeships/on-the-job training programs, flight training programs, and training correspondence.

  • The Yellow Ribbon program through the Post-9/11 GI Bill is an institutional aid matching program only for tuition and fees for students attending participating institutions.

  • For more information, visit the Department of Veteran Affairs, Post-9/11 GI Bill Benefits website http://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill/post911_gibill.asp


2. Department of Defense Tuition Assistance Program (DOD TAP)

  • For active duty servicemembers, reservists called to active duty, and their spouses.

  • Educational payments cover only tuition and fees and are made directly to the institution.

General

1

Which institutions are required to complete the IPEDS Student Financial Aid (SFA) component?


All postsecondary institutions that either 1.) participate in federal student financial aid programs that enrolled undergraduate students or 2.) enroll students who received an educational benefit (e.g., Department of Defense Tuition Assistance or Department of Veteran Affairs Post-9/11GI Bill) any time during academic year 2022-23 must complete SFA.

2

What is the reporting period covered by SFA for the 2023-24 collection year?


For the 2023-24 data collection, institutions should report award or disbursement data as specified for students enrolled during academic year 2022-23.


For Title IV participating institutions that enroll undergraduate students, report financial aid for the 2022-23 award year, including cross-over award periods assigned to the 2022-23 award year.:

  • For academic reporters, the academic year is defined as the period of time generally extending from September to June; usually equated to 2 semesters or trimesters, 3 quarters, or the period covered by a 4-1-4 calendar system.


To determine the financial aid amounts to report for a given group of students, first identify the student category s in that group (e.g., for Group 2, full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates enrolled in Fall 2024). Second, determine the student count for that category financial aid that was awarded to these students any time during for the 2022-23 academic year. Third, determine the financial aid awarded to these students for the 2022-23 award year. Do not forget to include cross-over award periods assigned to the 2022-23 award year.

  • For program reporters, the academic year is defined by the institution, so long as the institutionally defined academic year falls within the full aid year period of July 1-June 30.


To determine the financial aid amounts to report for a given group of students type, first identify the students in that group (e.g., for Group 2, full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates enrolled any time during the academic year). Second, determine the financial aid that was awarded to these students any time during the academic year.

Important Note: If the financial aid student counts do not match student counts reported in another IPEDS survey component, please work with the data reporter for the survey component at your institution to determine why the numbers are different. Contact the IPEDS Help Desk if you need assistance revising or correcting data.


For institutions that enroll undergraduate and graduate students who received military or veteran benefits:

  • Report for aid awarded any time during the 2022-23 financial aid award year (July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023), including aid disbursed late (after June 30, 2023) for the 2022-23 award year known to the institution).

Yes. Include all incarcerated students when determining students counts and financial aid amounts reported to IPEDS. Do not include incarcerated students participating in U.S. Department of Education Experimental Sites projects.


Student Counts

1

For which students should I report financial aid information?


Section 1: Student Financial Aid (SFA) currently collects information on undergraduate students only. NCES is planning to add collection for graduate student aid in future collections.

For the purposes of reporting to SFA, students are divided into the following groups:

Financial aid information is collected about the following student categories groups:

    • All undergraduate students

    • Full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students (FTFT)

    • FTFT undergraduate students who (paid the lower of in-state/in-district tuition rate for public institutions) and were awarded any grant/scholarship aid from the federal government, state/local government, or the institution

    • FTFT undergraduate students who (paid the lower of in-state/in-district tuition rate for public institutions) and were awarded any Title IV federal student aid

2

Financial Aid

1

Should veterans education benefits be reported?


For the portion of SFA (Parts A through E Section 1) that requires Title IV institutions to report on undergraduate students receiving financial aid:

  • Veterans’ education benefits should not be reported as financial aid in SFA.

  • The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) removed veterans’ education benefits from “estimated financial assistance,” effective July 1, 2010. A later technical corrections bill (H.R. 1777) updated the list of programs that meet the definition of "veterans' education benefits" in section 480(c) of the Higher Education Act (HEA) and moved the effective date of the exclusion to July 1, 2009 (beginning with the 2009-10 award year).

  • However, the institutional aid from Yellow Ribbon program should be reported under institutional aid. See how to report the Yellow Ribbon aid in FAQ.

  • For more information about the Department's Guidance on Federal Veterans’ Education Benefits for Purposes of the Title IV Student Assistance Programs, please visit https://ifap.ed.gov/electronic-announcements/08-13-2009-general-subject-guidance-federal-veterans-education-benefits.


For the portion of SFA (Section 2) that requires institutions to report on students who received military or veteran benefits:

  • Educational benefits from the Department of Defense's Military Tuition Assistance or Department of Veteran Affairs' Post-9/11 GI Bill should be reported in SFA.

2

How should I report post-9/11 "Yellow Ribbon" benefits?


The Post-9/11 GI Bill program includes a 'Yellow Ribbon' program, which is comprised of matching funds provided by the government and the institution. The institutional part of this aid should be reported in the SFA component (Section 1) as aid to the undergraduate student. Yellow Ribbon benefits provided from the VA should NOT be included when reporting to the portion of SFA (Section 1) on Title IV institutions that enroll full-time, first-time degree/certificate seeking undergraduate students.


However, both Post-9/11 GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon beneficiaries and federal dollar amounts should be reported to the military/veteran question of SFA (Section 2). This portion of SFA requires all institutions that enroll students with Post-9/11 GI Bill and/or Tuition Assistance educational benefits to provide the number of beneficiaries and total dollar amounts.

3

The SFA survey indicates that the maximum amount of Department of Defense (DOD) Tuition Assistance (TA) program awarded per fiscal year per student is $4500. What do I do if my DOD TA average is greater than $4500 per student?


According to the 2014 final regulations set for the DOD Voluntary Education Programs - which include TA - each branch of military service can pay no more than $250/semester-unit (or equivalent) for tuition. Each service member is eligible for up to $4500 in aggregate for each fiscal year. If your institution’s DOD TAP average is greater than $4500 per student per award year, then you should:

--Ask your financial aid office or VA certifying official to sort out the military aid and remove any non-DOD TA aid (e.g., ROTC scholarships, tuition reimbursements for advanced civil schooling, education-related incentive or bonus);

--Remove any non-Title X aid since TAP is a Title X program; and

--Make sure that you are including one disbursement period for that award year. Even though DOD TA aid are reported for the Oct 1 – Sep 30 timeframe, which technically covers two fall periods; only include one fall disbursement period per award year.

4

What types of financial aid should be reported?


The following types of financial aid should be reported in this component:

  • Title IV aid: Title IV aid includes Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant, Federal Work Study (FWS), and the Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct Loan programs. Report 100% of student FSEOG and FWS award amounts. That is, include the federal and matching share, regardless of the source of the match. Also, FSEOG and FWS award amounts should not exceed program amounts budgeted for the award year. That is, if the institution’s packaging policy includes an over-awarding strategy to account for attrition to make sure all funds are expended, exclude these amounts from award amounts reported to IPEDS.

  • Federal grants (grants/educational assistance funds): Grants provided by federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Education, including Title IV federal student aid program grants such as Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), and Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants. Also include need-based and merit-based educational assistance funds and training vouchers provided from (a) other federal agencies and/or (b) federally-sponsored educational benefits programs.


Do not include veterans’ education benefits, as defined in section 480(c) of the HEA, as they are no longer treated as Estimated Financial Assistance (EFA) for Federal Student Aid's purposes. For more information, visit https://ifap.ed.gov/electronic-announcements/08-13-2009-general-subject-guidance-federal-veterans-education-benefits.

  • Federal Work Study: Money earned by students based on financial need to meet postsecondary education costs who are employed part-time, typically in education related employment or community service activities on- campus or off-campus at the institution, or a private for-profit or nonprofit business, agency, or organization. Earnings include the federal and nonfederal share of wages, benefits, withholdings, and other employment deductions. It includes credit and non-credit employment. Examples of types of employment include, but is not limited to, assistantships, apprenticeships, internships, externships, and cooperative education experiences. While it does not include institutional and state work study programs, the non-federal share includes all state and local funds used to match these programs. See applicable federal, state, local, and institutional program rules for additional information.

  • Federal loans to students: Money borrowed from the federal government that must be repaid for which the student is the designated borrower. This type of aid includes all Title IV federal student programs such as Subsidized Direct Loan and Unsubsidized Direct Loans. It also includes Health Professions Student Loans, Loans for Disadvantaged Students, Nursing Student Loans, and Primary Care Loans. Do not include PLUS loans and other federal loans not made directly to the student.

  • State/local government grants (grants/scholarships/waivers): Grants that were awarded by your state such as Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnerships (LEAP) (formerly SSIGs), the Special Leveraging Educational Assistance Program (SLEAP), the Grants for Access and Persistence (GAP) Program, and Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarships. Include merit-based grants or scholarships that were provided by your state or local government. Also include tuition and fee waivers for which your institution was reimbursed by a state or local government agency.

  • Institutional grants or scholarships (scholarships/waivers): Grants, scholarships, and fellowships granted and funded by the institution and/or individual departments within the institution and are limited to students attending your institution. Include scholarships targeted to certain individuals (e.g., based on state of residence, major, or participation in athletic activities) for which the institution designates the recipient. Also include institutional tuition and fee waivers for which your institution was not reimbursed by a state or local government agency. This is not intended to include Federal Work Study.

  • Institutional loans to students: Short-term and long-term education loans to students made by the institution or its Schools, Colleges, or student organizations, including emergency education loans backed by a surety (i.e., financial guarantee). Exclude loans not made directly to the student, loans contingent on the student’s financial aid (also known as payment deferments) not backed by another source of security, and Income share agreements.

  • Private grants or scholarships: Grants or scholarships to students awarded and paid by an outside organization but directed through the institution's financial aid office and/or business office (e.g., Rotary Club Scholarship).

  • Private loans to students: Monies that must be repaid to the lending institution for which the student is the designated borrower. Include all institutionally and privately sponsored loans. Do not include loans that are not made directly to the student. Do not include loans contingent on the student’s financial aid (also known as payment deferments) not backed by another source of security.


Note that different parts of the SFA component ask for different types of financial aid to be reported. Please review the instructions and the survey screens carefully to ensure that you are reporting the correct types of financial aid in the appropriate parts.

5

What is the time period for which I should report financial aid amounts?


Institutions should report aid that was awarded any time during the academic year, including cross-over financial aid award periods assigned to the academic year.


For academic reporters, the academic year is the period of time generally extending from September to June, usually equated to two semesters or trimesters, three quarters, or the period covered by a 4-1-4 calendar system.


For program reporters, the academic year is defined by the institution, so long as it falls between July 1 and June 30.


Note that for the purposes of calculating net price, the cost of attendance (COA) for an academic year reported in the Institutional Characteristics (IC) component should align with the aid amounts reported in the Student Financial Aid (SFA) component.

6

Should tuition and fee waivers be reported?


Yes, tuition and fee waivers should be reported.


Tuition and fee waivers for which your institution was reimbursed by a state agency should be reported under state/local government grants.


Tuition and fee waivers granted by your institution (for which your institution is not reimbursed from another source) should be reported as institutional grants.

7

Where in Part C should I report tribal aid?


In general, institutions should report financial aid from tribal offices awarded to full-time, first-time students in the state/local government field (Line 03) in Part C.

8

Should PLUS loans be reported?


No. PLUS loans are made to the parents of students. Any type of loan that is not made to the student should not be reported.

9

What does "aid awarded" mean?


Institutions should report on grant or scholarship aid that has been awarded to students. This may be different from aid that was actually disbursed to students. For example, a student may be awarded grant or scholarship aid at the beginning of the academic year but then leave the institution before the entire amount is disbursed. In this case, you would report the original amount of grant or scholarship aid that was awarded, even though the entire amount was not actually disbursed to the student.


For reporting loans to students, institutions should continue to report on loans that were awarded to and accepted by the student.

10

If a student is awarded more than one type of aid, do I count him/her twice?


Yes, students should be included in each category of aid that they are awarded. If a student is awarded both federal and institutional aid, he/she should be counted under both types of aid.


However, in Part C, count students only once in the major aid category. For example, if a student is awarded both a Federal Pell Grant (Line 02a) and another type of federal grant (Line 02b), then count that student once for the major category of Federal grants (Line 02).

11

Where can I get living arrangement information for students?


Students indicate their intended living arrangement on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or an institutional financial aid application. If a student did not complete the FAFSA or an institutional financial aid application with living arrangement information, that student may appear as having an unknown living arrangement.


Institutions should use the most recently available information regarding student living arrangement.

How do I get information about students' income categories?


To assign the income category of the student, use the income that was used by your financial aid office to determine the student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC). For dependent students this will include the parents’ adjusted gross income and the student’s adjusted gross income. For independent students this will include the student’s adjusted gross income.


If your institution takes part in campus-based aid programs like the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Work Study, and Perkins Loans, then it might be easiest to tell your financial aid office that students should be put in income categories as they are done on FISAP (Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate). Institutions with campus-based aid programs must report annually to the Department of Education using the FISAP. Part of the FISAP includes income-related information. Even if your institution does not file FISAP, the instructions from it may be helpful (fields 26-39):

  • Use the FISAP Total Income (FTI), one of the intermediate computed values on the Student Aid Record (SAR) or ISIR (Institutional Student Information Record), to determine the proper cell for each student. For dependent students, FTI is the sum of Total Income (TI) and Student’s Total Income (STI). For independent students, the FTI will equal the TI. Remember, extract this information only from the SARs/ISIRs of students who actually enrolled in your school.

  • You might need to correct or adjust a student’s income information and recalculate the EFC. If so, you must use that corrected or adjusted information when determining the proper income cell for a student. In such a case, to determine the income cell for a dependent student, you must use the student’s and parents’ base year incomes, as reported on the SAR/ISIR.

The institution awards grants funded by an affiliated foundation. How should these grants be reported?


If the foundation’s mission is to benefit the institution, then: (1) those portions of the foundation-funded grants where the institution designates the recipient should be reported as institutional grants; and (2) those portions of the foundation-funded grants where the foundation designates the recipient should be reported as private grants. All grants funded by foundations with missions other than to benefit the institution should be reported as private grants.

14

Should Federal Pell Grant and campus-based aid administrative cost allowance (ACA) amounts be included in financial aid award amounts reported to IPEDS?


Do not report Federal Pell Grant or Title IV Campus-Based Aid Administrative Cost Allowance amounts to IPEDS. These amounts are reported as revenues on the Finance Survey. However, report campus-based aid funds (e.g., Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant or FSEOG, and Federal Work Study, or FWS) administrative cost allowance amounts used to make grants awards to students or pay FWS employment earnings to IPEDS.

15

Should Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, or IASG funded under the Children of Fallen Heroes Scholarship Act be reported to IPEDS?


Yes, IASG should be reported to IPEDS as federal grants, not scholarships. Even though the grants are awarded, in part, based on Federal Pell Grant methodology, the U.S. Department of Education does not consider these amounts to be Federal Pell Grants. As such, IASG awards should be excluded from Federal Pell Grant student counts and award amounts reported to IPEDS.

16

How do I report student counts and loan amounts for borrowers enrolled in post-baccalaureate teacher certification or licensure programs or courses required by a state to obtain certification to teach on the elementary or secondary level in the state who are treated as undergraduate students for the purpose of borrowing Federal Direct Loans?


Report these students to IPEDS as undergraduate students for the purpose of borrowing a Federal Direct Loan, which minimizes reporting burden since it is consistent with COD and FISAP reporting requirements.
