    Title of Collection: 2019-20 National Postsecondary Student Aid 
Study (NPSAS:20).
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0666.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.

    Abstract: The 2019-20 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study 
(NPSAS:20) is a nationally representative cross-sectional study of how 
students and their families finance education beyond high school in a 
given academic year. NPSAS is conducted by the National Center for 
Education Statistics (NCES) and was first implemented by NCES during 
the 1986-87 academic year and has been fielded every 3 to 4 years 
since. This request is to conduct the 11th cycle in the NPSAS series 
during the 2019-20 academic year. NPSAS:20 will be both nationally- and 
state-representative and will serve as the base year data collection 
for the 2020 cohort of the Beginning Postsecondary Students 
Longitudinal Study (BPS:20), a study of first-time beginning 
postsecondary students that will be conducted three years (BPS:20/22) 
and six years (BPS:20/25) after beginning their postsecondary 
education. NPSAS:20 will consist of a nationally-representative sample 
of undergraduate and graduate students, and a nationally-representative 
sample of first-time beginning students (FTBs). Subsets of questions in 
the NPSAS:20 student interview will focus on describing aspects of the 
experience of beginning students in their first year of postsecondary 
education, including student debt and education experiences. This 
request is to conduct all activities related to NPSAS:20, and thus this 
submission covers materials and procedures related to: The NPSAS:20 
student data collection, consisting of abstraction of student data from 
institutions and a student survey; panel maintenance activities for a 
NPSAS:2020 follow-up field test (for BPS:20/22); and carries over 
respondent burden, procedures, and materials related to the NPSAS:20 
institution sampling, enrollment list collection, and matching to 
administrative data files as approved by OMB in July and anticipated 
change request in September 2019 (OMB #1859-0666 v.23-24). The NPSAS:20 
enrollment list collection from institutions will take place from 
October 2019 through July 2020, the student records collection will 
take place from February through November 2020, and the student survey 
data collection will take place from January through November 2020.
