The NSPA-SPE-SITCH list is comprised of situations that are related to scholarship programs. New entries are included in the following list.

Standard Name: Scholarship Program Exchange Situation List
Standard ID: NSPA-SPE-SITCH-1.0-1
Issued By: NSPA
Version: 1.0e-1 (Initial Release Version)

Overview

The purpose of the NSPA-SPE-SITCH list is to define situations in the context of scholarship eligibility and applications.

Usage

In the NSPA Exchange, a situation is a life detail or characteristic associated with eligibility for a scholarship program. Situations are detailed regarding an prospective applicant’s education, employment, family, finances, or housing. By convention, the NSPA uses situation to describe citizenship, residency, or other associations not expressible in the more fixed, structured lists representing these data points.

At present, Situation criteria are notionally distinct from Miscellaneous criteria. But, in practice, the values “feel” similar to reviewers and data administrators. So, future versions of the NSPA Exchange standard may combine this list with the Miscellaneous list.

Due to the wide array of possible situations, this list is updated as specific programs are found.
