State Grant and Special Programs Presented by Christine A. Zuzack

Appropriations Governor Rendell delivered his appropriations announcement on February 9 and recommended level funding for all PHEAA programs for Funding is not final until passed by the General Assembly. This should occur by June 30. We cannot finalize awards or disburse funds until the budget is passed.

Appropriations The appropriation recommendations are as follows: –State Grant: $403 million –Matching Funds: $13.9 million –IAG: $30.2 million –NETS: $3.7 million –Cheyney Keystone Academy: $1.7 million –Bond-Hill: $.740 million

18 State Grant All Costs on the Web should be completed by April 16. Award letters expected to be generated the first week of May. Adjustments may be necessary once budget passes. Summer 2010 Online application process now available – reminders can be sent to your students

19 State Grant FAFSA Simplification USDE is proposing a drastic reduction in the number of income elements collected on the FAFSA to those items verifiable from IRS data. –This would eliminate all untaxed income questions. –Income earned from work eliminated

20 State Grant FAFSA Simplification The asset definitions would not change but would be a “yes/no” question to ascertain if the assets exceed $250,000. –If answered “yes” student would only be eligible for unsubsidized loan. –A “no” response would generate an EFC that would establish Pell eligibility, CBA eligibility, loan subsidizes, etc.

21 State Grant FAFSA Simplification These changes will create a significant difference in the students who receive need based aid. How will/should state and schools respond?

22 New Economy Technology Scholarships (NETS) Funds in the program were insufficient to meet the need all of the applicants for Statute requires that renewal applicants be awarded before first-time applicants. First- time applicants were awarded in order of date received. First-time applicants were awarded if complete by June 30, 2009.

23 New Economy Technology Scholarships (NETS) First-time applicants who did not receive an award were notified that they needed to reapply for Summer 2010 awards will be available to students.

24 Chafee It is expected that eligible students will exceed federal resources for Examining how this will be addressed with the PA Department of Public Assistance: renewals first, reduce maximum award, differential awards for part-time versus full-time?

25 EAP Beginning with the fall of 2010, PHEAA will be disbursing funds on behalf of the PA National Guard to schools. The EAP application will cover Summer 2010, Academic Year and Summer 2011.
