NPSAS:04 (https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/npsas/about.asp) is a cross-sectional survey that is designed to compile a comprehensive research dataset, based on student-level records, on financial aid provided by the federal government, the states, postsecondary institutions, employers, and private agencies along with student demographic and enrollment data. The study was conducted using multiple sources, including institutional records, government databases, and student interviews. NPSAS:04 contains the data on a sample of about 109,210 postsecondary students who were enrolled at any time between July 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004 in about 1,670 postsecondary institutions.
