Abstract: The National Postsecondary 

Student Aid Study (NPSAS), a 

nationally representative study of how 

students and their families finance 

postsecondary education, was first 

implemented by the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) in 1987 and 

has been fielded every 3 to 4 years 

since. The next major data collection 

will occur in 2016, with a field test 

collection in 2015. This submission is 

for the ninth cycle in the series, 

NPSAS:16, which will also serve as the 

base year study for the 2016 

Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal 

Study (B&B) which provides data on the 

various paths of recent college graduates 

into employment and additional 

education. The NPSAS:16 field test 

sample will include about 300 

institutions (full-scale sample about 

1,680) and about 4,500 students 

(126,000 full-scale). Institution 

contacting for the field test began in 

September 2014 and student data 

collection (interviews and institution 

record data) will be conducted from 

March through June 2015 (full-scale 

institution contacting will begin in 

October 2015 and student data will be 

collected January through October 

2016). Packages to request clearance for 

the full-scale data collection effort 

(institution list collection, cognitive 

testing, student interview, and 

institution record collection) will be 

submitted beginning in 2015. This 

submission for the 2015 field test 

includes facsimiles of the student 

interview and student records 

abstraction instruments as well as
