High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09): Postsecondary Education Administrative Records Restricted-use Data File

Title:	High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09): Postsecondary Education Administrative Records Restricted-use Data File
Description:	This data file includes new data from the HSLS:09 Postsecondary Education Administrative Records collection (PEAR). The PEAR collection includes data from administrative records collected in 2021, 8 years after most of the HSLS:09 cohort had graduated from high school. These data provide information on whether fall 2009 ninth-graders enrolled in postsecondary education by June 2021, and allow researchers to examine enrollment characteristics, degree completion, and financial aid awards for the subset of fall 2009 ninth-graders who enrolled in postsecondary education. HSLS:09 follows a nationally representative sample of students who were in ninth grade in fall 2009 from high school into postsecondary education and the workforce. Key research topics for HSLS:09 include secondary-to-postsecondary transition plans and the evolution of those plans; paths into and out of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) studies and careers; and the relationship between students� educational and social experiences in high school and their plans for and experiences in postsecondary education, work, and life. The PEAR collection includes information on whether fall 2009 ninth-graders ever enrolled in postsecondary education, as well as information about enrollment characteristics, degree completion, and financial aid awards for the subset of fall 2009 ninth-graders who attended postsecondary education.
