2023–2024 EDE Technical Reference (Final)

We are pleased to announce the posting of the complete 2023–2024 Electronic Data Exchange (EDE) Technical Reference. The EDE Technical Reference provides record layouts for schools or other organizations that need to design software systems to interface with Federal Student Aid's application processing system to process student financial aid applications.

Note: In prior cycles, we have posted a partial “spring” draft of the technical reference, followed up by an updated draft with all sections during the summer. For 2023–24, we are posting the full “final” technical reference without the earlier partial draft.

This posting includes the 2023–24 versions of the Cover, Table of Contents, Change History Table, Overview, EDE Processing, Printing, Record Layouts, and Processing Codes sections.

The following record layouts are included in this version:

  • EDE Record Level Error Report Import Record Layout

  • Institutional Student Aid Report (ISIR) Record Description/Data Dictionary

  • Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) Application Export Record Layout

  • Correction Export Record Layout

  • Signature Record Export Record Layout

The ISIR Cross-Reference in the Processing Codes section compares the fields in the 2022–23 ISIR Record Layout with the fields in the 2023–24 ISIR Record Layout and is organized by the 2022–23 fields.
