NPSAS 2008 and prior years — student loan comparisons.
In NPSAS:08, weights were adjusted to sum to the total of loan disbursements. In prior NPSAS years, weights were adjusted to sum to the total of loan commitments. To ensure that loan estimates produced for NPSAS:08 and prior NPSAS cycles are comparable, revised weights will be used for analyses in QuickStats and the DAS. NPSAS:04 weights have been updated, but loan comparisons to earlier cycles of NPSAS should be avoided. We are in the process of reweighting NPSAS:96 and NPSAS:2000 to reflect these changes; Announcements will be made as the revisions become available.
