Ability to Benefit (ATB)

A federal student aid eligibility criteria for postsecondary students who:

(a) do not have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent and
(b) are beyond the age of compulsory school attendance in the state where the institution is located.

To be eligible to receive federal student aid, the law requires these persons to show that they have the ability to benefit from postsecondary education. To demonstrate this they must pass an independently administered test approved by the U.S. Secretary of Education.
