National Postsecondary Student Aid Study
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) is a study conducted every four years by the National Center for Education Statistics,[1] a division of the Institute of Education Sciences in the U.S. Department of Education. This study captures data regarding how students pay for postsecondary education, with special attention to how families fund higher education.[2] The NPSAS, which has been conducted periodically since 1987, has a complex design, utilizing sampling and weighting to achieve a sample that represents college students nationwide.[3][4]
