Implementation Topics • Academic Year vs. Award Year • Who does ED consider a family member of Veteran or Active Duty member? • How IBMC College identifies students whoshould receive the Shopping Sheet • Where do we put FSEOG on Shopping Sheet? • What if we don’t know a student’s EFC prior to enrollment?
Academic year vs. Award year • Shopping Sheet needs to show aid available for the award year • Our award letter shows aid available by academic year (multiple class starts throughout the year) • IBMC College created comments in the comment section of the Shopping Sheet to explain the difference of award year and academic year based on class start date
Who does ED consider a family member of a Veteran or Active Duty member? • We felt that the term family member was very vague • We met as a team and determined that the term family member isintended for immediate family members
How IBMC College identifies students whoshould receive the Shopping Sheet • Added a question to the admissions application asking if the student isa Veteran, Active Duty member, or a family member • Added a query in EdExpress for any students whoanswered YES to being on Active Duty or being a Veteran on the FAFSA (question 48 & 49) • Contact VA School Certifying Official to find out who is receiving VA or TA benefits
Where do we put FSEOG on Shopping Sheet? • FSEOG is to be included in Grants from your school • Grants from your school is considered campus based aid and Institutional aid
What if we don’t know a student’s EFC prior to enrollment? • Most of our students don’t complete a FAFSA until after they enroll • We provide a Shopping Sheet to a student as soon as we know the EFC • We recommend students complete a FAFSA before enrolling
