The NPSAS data provides some previously unavailable data. The data has limitations, such as small sample sizes for some areas, which can lead to large standard errors and statistically insignificant estimates. However, the NPSAS data provides much valuable information and increases the understanding of several key variables Summary Minnesota Office of Higher Education, Data Source: NCES NPSAS, 2003-2004
The net prices faced by those in the lower income groups are a substantial share of their incomes. A large number of students borrow as undergraduates, even those in the highest income category ($90,000+). Within each sector, the total amounts borrowed do not vary across the income categories.
