Overview

IPEDS Student Financial
Aid Component Overview
Public Academic Reporters

Welcome to the Student Financial Aid
(SFA) component. The purpose of the SFA component is to
collect information about financial aid provided to various
groups of undergraduate students and military/veteran
educational benefits for all students at your
institution.

Changes to This Year’s SFA
Component

New questions on military/veteran/eligible dependent
students receiving benefits have been added. Total number
and amount will be asked for both undergraduate and
graduate students. Please work with your institutional
representative who certifies such benefits. They may not be
associated with the student financial aid office.

Data Reporting
Reminders

Undergraduate Student Groups

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

price of attendance can be made in this component.

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

Section
1: Comparison Chart

Comparison Chart

Based on the information
reported on the previous screens for Group 1 (all
undergraduates) and Group 2 (full-time, first-time
degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates), this comparison
chart seeks to help institutions check their reported data.
Assuming that the information on Groups 1 and 2 are correct,
then the calculated fields for ‘All Other Undergraduates’
should be the balance (Group 1 minus Group 2). If the balance
does not check with your institution’s calculations, please
correct your reported numbers for Groups 1 and 2 before
moving forward with the completion of the SFA survey
component.

Note: Data for the 'All Other
Undergraduates' will appear in the IPEDS Data Center for data
users, but not in College Navigator.

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 is outside the expected range of between
1,650 and 2,474 when compared with the prior year value.
Please check the number of students and the total amount of
aid awarded to these students, and correct or explain the
discrepant values. (Error #7147)

Explanation

Yes

Reason:

Fall 2012 numbers included Veteran's Benefits.
When removing those from the previous year's calculation, the
average award becomes $878 per student.

Screen Entry

The average amount of this type of aid awarded to
Group 2 students is outside the expected range of between
7,547 and 11,319 when compared with the prior year value.
Please check the number of students and the total amount of
aid awarded to these students, and correct or explain the
discrepant values. (Error #7147)

Explanation

Yes

Reason:

There is no clear pattern between the borrowers of
private loans from Fall 2012 and Fall 2013. Given the
generally small sample sizes, it would be difficult to create
a broad general theme. However, the smaller number of
borrowers this year over previous years is a good thing, and
suspect this is due, in part, to improved scholarship and
grant packages for students.

4

Screen Entry

The number entered is outside the expected range
of between 45 and 81 when compared with the prior year value.
Please correct your data or explain. (Error #7169)

Explanation

Yes

Reason:

In the last few years, we've improved our grant
and housing scholarship programs. This can be seen by the
increase in students living on campus. Even though the number
of FTFT degree-seeking students paying instate tuition rates
who received Title IV aid decreased from 2012-13 to 2013-14,
we maintained the number of students who lived on campus over
the previous year. Those two factors (reduced students in
this group overall, and maintained number of students living
on campus) would contribute to a significant reduction in
students living off campus.

Screen Entry

The calculated average amount of grant or
scholarship aid awarded to Group 4 students from the federal
government, state/local government, or the institution for
this income level is smaller than expected in comparison with
the other income levels. Please check the values reported 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.
