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

COA Revisions
Revisions to Cost of Attendance (COA) used to calculate the net price of attendance can be made in this component.
Consult the instructions and screens to make sure you are reporting the correct aid amounts for the correct groups of students.
College Affordability and Transparency Lists
Net price amounts calculated in SFA will be used to populate the U.S. Department of Education’s College Affordability and Transparency lists.
Interactive Edits and Error Messages
SFA 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 for resolution.
Context Boxes
You
will find optional text boxes throughout SFA. Context boxes allow you
to provide more information about the data you enter. Some of these
context boxes may be made available to the public on College
Navigator, so make sure that the information you enter can be
understood easily by students, parents, and the
general
public.

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

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

Group
3: Of Group 2,
FTFT

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
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

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 addition, the total number of
students reported for an aid category
type
must be at
least
less
than or equal to as
large as
the largest value
of
those
reported in athe
subcategory.
Instructions:
In the fields provided, report the number of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking (FTFTDGCS) undergraduate students and the total amount of aid they were awarded for each type of aid.
If you have updates or made errors in the prior year reporting of cost of attendance in the IC survey component, you can make changes in the SFA survey component. However, there are no prior year revisions for the SFA survey 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.

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.

Notes:
In this part, you will be asked to report living arrangement
information for Group
4 full-time,
first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students
awarded any Title IV federal student aid. 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.
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.

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

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

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.
The Student Financial Aid (SFA) survey component is divided into two sections. Section 1 discusses the portion of the SFA component that asks questions about your undergraduate students only. Section 2 explains the portion of the SFA component that ask questions about your military and veteran students and includes both undergraduate and graduate students. As you complete both sections of SFA, please refer to the "Where to Get Help" and "Where the Data Will Appear" sections.

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
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.
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
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

public institutions and)
who
were awarded grant or scholarship aid from 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

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.

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 for the institution's largest program and
the average grant or scholarship aid awarded to Group
3 these.
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 (Line 05). Information about cost of attendance is
carried forward from data that your institution reported in the
Institutional Characteristics component of IPEDS. If you did not
enter this information and have questions about the values entered
here, contact your institution’s IPEDS Keyholder.

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.

collection, institutions should report award or disbursement data
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.

Can I revise my institutions cost of attendance (COA) data in SFA?
Yes, the 3 most recent COA years can be changed in SFA's "Cost Revision" screen, which carried forward the COA data from Institutional Characteristics (IC) component. Changes should only be made if errors were made in the IC reporting. Changes cannot be made in the prior year revision system. |

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:
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.
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. |
12 |
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):
|
13 |
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. |
