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

Only one year of data will be collected for existing
institutions. New institutions will need to report multiple years
of data. Changes to prior years of data must be made in the Prior
Year Revision System.

SFA is now part of the Winter collection. The Winter
collection will close for keyholders on February 6, 2013.

In Part E (data for Group 4), Column 2 has been revised for
clarity. It now more clearly matches with the data in Column
3.

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.

Screen: Part C,
Page 2 - Enter Information about Group 2

Screen Entry

The average amount of this type of aid awarded
to Group 2 students (8,522) is outside the expected range of between
4,406 and 6,608 when compared with the prior year value. Please
check the number of students and the total amount of aid awarded to
these students, and fix or explain the discrepant values. (Error
#7147)

Explanation

Yes

Reason:

The University saw an increase in average test
scores and high school GPAs, which resulted in a direct increase in
merit scholarships. The University also increased housing
scholarships and need-based institutional grants.

Screen Entry

The average amount of this type of aid awarded
to Group 2 students (1,796) is outside the expected range of between
781 and 1,171 when compared with the prior year value. Please check
the number of students and the total amount of aid awarded to these
students, and fix or explain the discrepant values. (Error #7147)

Explanation

Yes

Reason:

The biggest change was the loss of Academic
Competitiveness Grants (ACG). The sheer number of $750 awards from
ACG greatly reduced the average award per student in Fall 2010 vs.
Fall 2011. Without ACG Grants in Fall 2010, the average per students
in Fal 2010 is over $1,500 per student.

year value. Please explain. (Error #7169)

scholarships, which resulted in an overall increase in students
living in the residence hall. Some of athletics has also encouraged
its students to take advantage of these scholarships, which would
result in a decrease in students living off campus. The larger
differences is also a reflection of an 8% decrease in first time
degree-seeking students coming from the St. Louis Metropolitan
area.

The average amount of grant and scholarship aid
from the federal government, state/local government, or the
institution awarded to Group 4 students for this income level is
smaller than expected in comparison with the other income levels.
Please check the values entered for the number of these students who
were awarded any Title IV aid (Col. 1) and the total amount of grant
or scholarship aid awarded to them (Col. 3) and correct your data or
explain the discrepancy. (Error #7317)

Explanation

Yes

Reason:

The most significant difference in the aid
awarded to students in 02b versus 02c is in the form of housing
scholarships. More students in 02c qualified for and were offered
housing scholarships than students in 02b. When we removed housing
scholarships from the calculations, this anomaly disappears.

Screen Entry

The total amount of grant or scholarship aid
awarded to Group 4 students from the federal government, state/local
government, or the institution across all income levels (2,755,237)
is outside of the expected range of between 1,471,343 and 2,452,237
based on the prior year value. Please fix your data or explain the
discrepancy. (Error #7332)

Explanation

Yes

Reason:

Increase in merit scholarship eligibility,
increase in housing scholarships and need-based grant, addition of
Gear Up and Opportunity Scholars Program full scholarships (see
below for more detail on the Gear Up and OSP
scholarships).
