Overview

IPEDS Student Financial Aid Component Overview Public Academic Reporters
	Welcome to the Student Financial Aid (SFA) component of the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). The purpose of the SFA component is to collect information about financial aid provided to various groups of undergraduate students at your institution.
	Changes to This Year’s SFA Component SFA is now part of the Winter collection. The Winter collection will close for keyholders on February 8, 2012. In Part E, an additional column will collect the number of students in Group 4 who were awarded any Title IV grant aid, by income categories. For reporting grant or scholarship aid, institutions should report “aid awarded” rather than “aid received” or “aid awarded and accepted.” The amount awarded may be different from the amount that was actually disbursed to students. There is no change to how loans to students should be reported. Institutions should continue to report on loans that were awarded to and accepted by the student. Veterans education benefits should no longer be reported in SFA, as they are no longer considered Estimated Financial Assistance for Federal Student Aid purposes.
	Data Reporting Reminders Groups Throughout this component, you will be asked to report information for different groups of students. Group 1: All undergraduate students Group 2: Of Group 1, full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking students Group 3: Of Group 2, students who paid the 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, students who paid the in-state/in-district tuition rate and were awarded any Title IV federal student aid 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 Department’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 1-877-225-2568 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.

IPEDS collects important information regarding your institution. All data reported in IPEDS survey components become available in the IPEDS Data Center and appear as aggregated data in various Department of Education reports. Additionally, some of the reported data appears specifically for your institution through the College Navigator website and is included in your institution’s Data Feedback Report (DFR). The purpose of this summary is to provide you an opportunity to view some of the data that, when accepted through the IPEDS quality control process, will appear on the College Navigator website and/or your DFR. College Navigator is updated approximately three months after the data collection period closes and Data Feedback Reports will be available through the ExPT and sent to your institution’s CEO in November 2012.

Please review your data for accuracy. If you have questions about the data displayed below after reviewing the data reported on the survey screens, please contact the IPEDS Help Desk at: 1-877-225-2568 or ipedshelp@rti.org.
