Title of Collection: 2020/25 Beginning 

Postsecondary Students (BPS:20/25) 

Full-Scale Study. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0631. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 26,947. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 10,289. 

Abstract: The 2020/25 Beginning 

Postsecondary Students Full-Scale 

Study (BPS:20/25) is conducted by the 

National Center for Education Statistics, 

part of the Institute of Education 

Sciences, within the Department of 

Education, and is part of the Beginning 

Postsecondary Students Longitudinal 

Study data collection program at https:// 

nces.ed.gov/surveys/bps/. BPS is 

designed to follow a cohort of students 

who enroll in postsecondary education 

for the first time during the same 

academic year, irrespective of the date 

of high school completion. The study 

collects data on students’ persistence in 

and completion of postsecondary 

education programs; their transition to 

employment; demographic 

characteristics; and changes over time in 

their goals, marital status, income, and 

debt, among other indicators. Data from 

BPS are used to help researchers and 

policymakers better understand how 

financial aid influences persistence and 

completion, what percentages of 

students complete various degree 

programs, what are the early 

employment and wage outcomes for 

certificate and degree attainers, and why 

students leave school. 

The BPS:20/25 field test was 

completed during the 2023–24 academic 

year and was designed to test items and 

procedures for the upcoming full-scale 

study (see Appendix D of this 

submission with results of the two 

experiments embedded in the field test). 

BPS:20/25 will be a nationallyrepresentative sample of approximately 

28,650 students who were first-time 

beginning students during the 2019–20 

academic year. These students will be 

asked to complete a survey and 

administrative data will also be 

collected for them. BPS:20/25 and other 

NCES postsecondary studies include 

data linkages with many existing 

sources of valuable data, listed in 

appendix B, including the Department 

of Education’s FAFSA Processing 

System (FPS), National Student Loan 

Data System (NSLDS), and National 

Student Clearinghouse (NSC). These 

NCES studies also obtain data from 

postsecondary institution student 

records, information on military service 

records from Veterans Benefits 

Administration (VBA), and admissions 

test scores from ACT and The College 

Board. Linkages to additional data 

providers, such as Experian and the 

National Directory of New Hires 

(NDNH), may be explored for BPS:20/ 

25. 

As part of the clearance process for 

the previously submitted and approved 

Field Test package (OMB #1850–0631 

v.20), NCES published a notice in the 

Federal Register allowing first a 60- and 

then a 30-day public comment period. 

That submission was designed to 

adequately justify the need for and 

overall practical utility of the full study, 

presenting the overarching plan for all 

phases of the data collection and 

providing as much detail about the 

measures to be used as is available at 

the time of that submission. The 

materials for the BPS:20/25 full-scale 

study are based upon the field test 

materials. In order to clear the final 

materials for the BPS:20/25 full-scale 

study, NCES is publishing a notice in 

the Federal Register allowing an 

additional 30-day public comment 

period on the final details and materials 

of the BPS:20/25 full-scale study.
