Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This E.D. TAB is the second publication based on the 2003-04 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:04) conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) within the U.S. Department of Education. NPSAS is a comprehensive survey that examines how students and their families pay for postsecondary education. The first E.D. TAB (Berkner et al. 2005) included national estimates of financial aid for both undergraduate and graduate or first-professional students and provided details on the federal student aid programs in Title IV of the Higher Education Act. This E.D. TAB focuses only on undergraduates, including separate tables for those who attended public 4-year, private not-for-profit 4-year, public 2-year, or private for-profit postsecondary institutions during the 2003-04 academic year. It describes average tuition and fees, average total price of attendance, and the percentages of undergraduates receiving various types and combinations of financial aid and average amounts received, with a particular focus on grants and loans. Appended are: (1) Supplemental Tables; (2) Glossary; and (3) Technical Notes and Methodology. (Contains 30 tables.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This E.D. TAB presents selected findings about the price of attendance and the types and amounts of financial aid received by in-state undergraduates enrolled in public 2-year, public 4-year, and private not-for-profit 4-year institutions during the 2003-04 academic year in 12 selected states. It is based on the undergraduate data in the 2003-04 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:04), a nationally representative survey of postsecondary students. In addition to providing national estimates, the NPSAS:04 survey was designed to provide representative samples of undergraduates in public 2-year, public 4-year, and private not-for-profit 4-year institutions in 12 states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Tennessee. Prior NPSAS studies have not been representative at the state level. For the in-state undergraduates in each of these 12 selected states, the tables in this E.D. TAB show the average tuition and fees and total price of attendance, the percentages of undergraduates receiving various types of financial aid and the average amounts received, the average net price of attendance after financial aid, average financial need and remaining need after financial aid, cumulative student loan amounts, earnings from work while enrolled, and other aspects of financing an undergraduate education. Tables of comparable national totals limited to in-state undergraduates in public 2-year, public 4-year, and private not-for-profit 4-year institutions in the 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico are also provided to allow for comparisons of undergraduate financing patterns in each of the 12 selected states and the entire nation. Appended are: (1) Glossary; and (2) Technical Notes and Methodology. (Contains 97 tables.).

Download or read book The Role of Work and Loans in Paying for an Undergraduate Education written by Robin McMillion and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The signing of the Higher Education Act (HEA) in 1965 by President Lyndon Johnson marked the beginning of the federal government's explicit commitment to equalizing college opportunities for needy students. Since then, however, two trends have developed which are running at cross purposes to each other. The first is the emergence, shortly after the signing of the HEA, of the human capital economy, in which human knowledge, skills, and abilities began to surpass physical labor in importance to the prosperity of both the individual and society. The second trend, which began to emerge in the early 1980s, is the decrease in affordability of higher education. As a result of an increase in costs, and a decrease in state and federal commitment to higher education, the cost of college has increasingly shifted from taxpayers to students and their families. Students from high-income families have been less adversely affected by this, but for students from low-income backgrounds, paying for college with family resources is not an option. For the expenses not covered by grants, their only recourse is work, loans, or some combination of the two. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the signing of the HEA, and in keeping with our vision to be the premier source of information to help students and families realize their educational dreams, TG has studied the role of work and loans in paying for an undergraduate education today. Data from the U.S. Department of Education's 2004 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) and other sources indicate that 78 percent of undergraduates in the U.S. work while enrolled in school and 34 percent work full-time, with an average of 30 hours worked per week by those who work. Yet working long hours is the least likely method to result in academic success. Compared to students who work fewer than 15 hours per week, students who work full-time are less likely to attend a four-year school (68 percent vs. 34 percent), less likely to attend full-time (63 percent vs. 22 percent), less likely to remain in school at least three years (77 percent vs. 34 percent), and less likely to receive a bachelor's degree in six years (57 percent vs. 8 percent). Loans also play a significant role in paying for college, but cannot be expected to cover the widening gap between costs and grant aid for low-income students without repercussions, especially for students who are unsure if they will succeed and who are therefore reluctant to take on large debts. A bibliography is included. (Contains 12 tables, 22 figures and 85 endnotes.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a description of the student characteristics, persistence, and degree attainment of a nationally representative sample of students who began postsecondary education for the first time during the 2003-04 academic year. The report describes the background, academic preparation, and experience of these beginning students over 3 academic years, from July 2003 to June 2006, and provides information about rates of program completion, transfer, and attrition for students who first enrolled at various types of postsecondary institutions using data from the 2004/06 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS:04/06). The BPS survey is the longitudinal component of the 2003-04 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:04), a nationally representative sample that includes students enrolled in all types of postsecondary institutions. The BPS:04/06 cohort consists of students in the NPSAS:04 sample who were identified as having enrolled in postsecondary education for the first time during the 2003-04 academic year. These beginning students were initially interviewed in 2004, at the end of their first year in postsecondary education, and then interviewed again in 2006, some 3 years after they had started. The estimates presented in the report were produced using the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Data Analysis System (DAS), a web-based software application that enables users to specify and generate tables for most of the postsecondary surveys conducted by NCES. The DAS produces the design-adjusted standard errors necessary for testing the statistical significance of differences in the estimates. Two appendixes present: (1) Glossary; and (2) Technical Notes and Methodology. (Contains 79 tables, 11 figures, and 15 footnotes.) [The 2004/06 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study was conducted by RTI International and MPR Associates for the National Center of Education Statistics (NCES).].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) is a comprehensive nationwide study conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics to determine how students and their families pay for postsecondary education and to describe some demographic and other characteristics of those enrolled. The study is based on a nationally representative sample of students in postsecondary education, including undergraduate, graduate, and first-professional students at public and private institutions, whether less-than-two-year, two-year, or four-year. Data were available on about 82,000 students, and parents of 18,000 students were selected for a telephone interview. This discussion of survey methodology focuses on: (1) study objectives and design; (2) institution sampling and enlistment; (3) student and parent sampling; (4) institutional records data collection; (5) student and parent surveys; (6) file creation and data analysis; (7) weights and variance estimation; (8) the 1993 NPSAS field test; and (9) a summary and recommendations for survey improvement. Six appendixes provide further details about methodology, including a formulation of the generalized rating model. (Contains 17 figures and 56 tables.) (SLD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the characteristics of less-than-4-year institutions and the students who attend them. Data are presented on the number and size of less-than-4-year institutions, their educational offerings, types of degrees awarded, and on student demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, attendance costs, and financial aid. Following an introductory chapter, Chapter 2 provides a description of enrollment and program offerings at less-than-4-year institutions using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Data System survey. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 use National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (1987) data to describe students enrolled in less-than-4-year public, private not-for-profit, and private for-profit institutions. The sixth chapter compares students attending the different types of less-than-4-year institutions with those attending 4-year institutions. The seventh and final chapter summarizes the findings of this study. Student characteristics examined are divided into four groups: demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, including sex, age, marital status, dependent student's family income, and independent student's income; educational goals, including ultimate degree objective and field of study; student expenses, including the average amount paid for tuition and fees, housing, transportation, and miscellaneous; and sources and average amounts of financial support. Appendices include study technical notes and lists of selected undergraduate characteristics. (GLR)
