This collection is approved only for the field test and initial contacts with institutions for the full-scale survey in Fall 2007. Before commencing the sampling and full-scale survey of students, NCES will submit the results of the field test along with a description of any changes to procedures and instruments to OMB with a notice in the Federal Register allowing 30 days for public comment; the 60 day Federal Register notice is waived. OMB understands that NCES is also considering changes to the experiments in their field test and will submit these as nonsubstantive changes prior to initiating the student surveys.

Abstract:
The 2008 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study is being conducted to meet the continuing need for national-level data about significant financial aid issues for students enrolling in postsecondary education. Information about financial aid policies and postsecondary affordability is critical to policymakers who determine the need analysis formulas for Pell Grants, maximum amounts for student loans and other need-based federal programs.
