Understanding Ability to Benefit

An Ability-to-Benefit test is required of students seeking United States federal financial aid who did not graduate from high school in the United States. To this end, these students must demonstrate they possess sufficient "ability to benefit" (ATB) from post-secondary education via their performance in an approved test.

For these students, data regarding their ATB status must be reported as part of the Common Origination and Disbursement process. Oracle provides a way to create and maintain ATB data for these students.
