These data include undergraduates in a degree or certificate program at public two- and four-year schools in 2017-18 who applied for federal financial aid. Only students enrolled in their state of legal residence are included in NPSAS:18-AC analyses presented in this report. NPSAS:18-AC only includes information from administrative data sources and does not contain data from a student survey. (Previous iterations of the NPSAS have included both.) As a result, this dataset likely undercounts students with dependent children.
