Financial Aid Fundamentals

Financing Your Education

What is goal of financial aid?

How is financial need determined?

How do I apply? What is the role of the

financial aid office? What aid is available?

7

Goal of Financial Aid

• To assist students in paying for college.

• To provide opportunity and access to higher education.

8

Basic Principles of Financial Aid

The family has primary responsibility for financing

postsecondary education.

Financial aid is the BRIDGE

9

Principles of Needs Analysis

To the extent they are able, parents have primary responsibility to pay for their dependent children’s education.

Students also have a responsibility to contribute to their educational costs.

Families should be evaluated in their present financial condition.

A family’s ability to pay for educational costs must be evaluated in an equitable and consistent manner, recognizing that special circumstances can and do affect a family’s ability to pay.

10

Financial Aid Regulations

• Are determined by federal and state statutes and legislators

• Establish your eligibility for most types of aid

• Apply to all schools

11

What Are the Costs?

Tuition and Fees+Room and Board+Transportation+Books & Supplies+Miscellaneous Living Expenses=Cost of Attendance (COA)

12

Expected Family Contribution (EFC)(Federal Methodology established by U.S. Congress)

Determined by filing the FAFSA.Free Application for Federal Student Aid

13

Main Determinants of the EFC

• Income• Assets• Family size• Number in College• Age of the older

parent

Adjustments to EFC may be made due to Verification and/or Special Circumstances that limit ability to

pay

14

Expected Family Contribution (EFC)

Is the sum of four separate calculations:

Contribution from Parental Income

Contribution from Parental Assets

Contribution from Student Income

Contribution from Student Assets

15

Financial Need Defined

Cost of Attendance (COA)

– Expected Family Contribution (EFC)

= Financial Need

Academic Excellence Scholarship (AES)

Awarded to Wisconsin’s top high school seniors who are residents of Wisconsin, and are US citizens or permanent US residents.

Earned by the high school senior with the highest cumulative grade point average in the class at the end of the fall semester of senior year.

Up to $2250 per year, for up to four years, toward tuition at participating Wisconsin colleges or universities. HEAB notifies the college of the student’s AES award, and the college and HEAB jointly disburse the money and apply it directly to the tuition. Certificates are sent to the high schools for your AES winners.

52

Academic Excellence Scholarship (cont’d)

The number of Academic Excellence Scholarships that may be awarded per school is based on student enrollment, as shown in the following table:

Enrollment Number of Scholarships

1-79 total of 10 available

80-499 1

500-999 2

1000-1499 3

1500-1999 4

2000-2499 5

Over 2500 6 HEAB determines the number of scholarships for each school based on

Department of Public Instruction fall enrollment reports.

53

AES High School Timeline

JANUARY - High schools receive forms, instructions, notification of number of scholarships available for individual schools (based on school enrollment), and a copy of the State of Wisconsin Statutes and Rules which pertain to the AES.

FEBRUARY 15 - deadline for high school guidance counselors to submit Academic Excellence Scholar names to HEAB.

54

AES High School Timeline (cont’d)

MARCH - Students who have earned the Academic Excellence Scholarship are contacted by HEAB asking them to verify their intent to accept the scholarship, and asking which participating school they plan to attend.

HEAB begins the alternate selection process.

MAY - HEAB sends AES certificates to high schools.

55

AES Tips for Guidance Counselors

The scholarship recipient(s) you list should be the student(s) with the highest cumulative GPAs at the end of the fall semester of senior year, regardless of whether or not they plan to accept the Academic Excellence Scholarship.

Your districts are required to have a tie-breaking strategy in place in the event that more than one student shares the highest cumulative GPA.

If you have an un-weighted, or traditional, grading system, alternates for the AES must have the very same GPA as the winner of the AES.

56

AES Tips (cont’d)

If you have a weighted grading system, alternates are listed in order of the next highest GPAs.

The cumulative GPA for each student should be reported exactly as it is shown on your official high school transcript.

If possible, student names should be written exactly as the student wishes it to appear on the certificate.

Schools are encouraged to alert all recipients and alternates of their AES status as early as possible.

57

Receiving State Financial Aid

HEAB notifies the college or university financial aid offices of each student’s eligibility for state financial aid.

The financial aid offices include the state aid in the student’s financial aid package.
