Overview
The purpose of the NSPA-SPE-DC code list is to define and standardize values we can use to refer unambiguously to demographic criteria in the context of scholarship eligibility and applications. Values are in U.S. English. However, the code list does not put any restrictions on how sending or receiving systems represent these values to an end-user. The values are simply those used to convey a precise meaning for data exchange.
This list contains an “Other” value.
Usage
In the Scholarship Exchange, demographic criteria includes one’s race, ancestry, and gender identity. These values are screened conscientiously to ensure the inclusivity of all possible options.
