Applying for Financial Aid
I need to reapply for financial aid for the new school year before the due date which is usually in August. Since I am under 24 I need to wait for my mother to fill out her taxes. In the meantime, I’ll gather our 2009 income tax returns, social security numbers, and W-2 forms (which everyone needs in order to apply). Students can start applying January 1; since my mother and I already have a pin (which is needed and obtainable at www.pin.ed.org) I’ll log in to www.fafsa.gov and fill out the financial aid form using our estimates. The FAFSA priority deadline for fall is March 31!!! Once my mom files her taxes (which are due April 15, 2010) I’ll correct all the information with the accurate numbers and calculations. It is crucial that I remember to put down my schools federal code, which for CSI is 002698. If I am having trouble with this at home I will call Stefani Gardener (the SEEK financial aid advisor) and set up an appointment so she can help me. Now that that’s complete I will link to ‘TAP on the web’ from my FAFSA application which is for New York residents only. For TAP I need to list CSI’s New York state school code which is 1417 (TAP only awards the first school listed on the FAFSA). Then I will be mailed an Student Aid Report (SAR) and if everything is correct on that I can go ahead and verify my data. Lastly, CUNY will alert me by email to file a CUNY Financial Aid Supplement via CUNY portal. If I do not complete this I will not be considered for certain state

    NJASFAA Case Study

    Simplification and providing a clear path to payment are effective ways to improve college access, affordability and completion. Most students and families struggle to navigate through the financial aid process. Even with NJASFAA and HESAA’s collaboration to assist students through FAFSA workshops and such, the complex nature of the student aid process is a real deterrent and can perpetuate inequality. The federal government has made major shifts toward simplification; such as removal of unnecessary questions, implementing skip trace logic, use of the IRS Data Retrieval functionality, allowing families to import tax information directly from the IRS onto their FAFSA, and now students will be using “prior-prior” year tax information. The strategic simplification of the TAG application and verification process is a way to assist students and make college more affordable. Additionally, the state should expedite the progress it is currently working on to utilize the NJ taxation system, which will mirror in concept the IRS Data…

    Summary Of Robert T. Perry On Real Education

    New systems and policies have been instituted by the State Higher Education Executive Officers to make college access and success a national priority. These policies include: Targeting low-income and first-generation students, “overhauling the notoriously complex financial aid system” (627), and developing new information systems. Low-income and first-generation students are statistically the least likely to succeed in college and complete their degree study programs. People who fall into this category are targeted by allocating greater public resources to community colleges and regional four-year institutions, while also providing need-based financial aid. The financial aid system is obviously complex and difficult to understand. One way to create ease of access to this program is to allow data for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid directly transferable from the federal income tax form. Pell Grants should also be slated to students’ basic living needs and not tuition to highlight the responsibility of the states and colleges to provide grants for tuition to low-income students and moderate tuition and fees based on students’ financial status. As for the development of the information system, it better tracks students’ progress and determines whether they are at risk of dropping out.…

    Budget Cuts for Tuition Assistance

    The Army 's tuition assistance program was suspended on May 8, 2013 because of the budget deficit. The Army’s tuition assistance program was available for troops to complete a high school diploma, certificate program or college or master’s degree. Under the program, the Army paid 100 percent of the tuition and authorized fees charged by a school up to established limits of $250 per semester hour or credit hour or up to $4,500 per fiscal year.

    Federal Aid: A Personal Statement Analysis

    That statement basically means, no matter where you come from, you have to be willing to put your best foot forward in order to succeed. I can relate to that statement very well because I was born outside of the United States. I understood the struggles that I would have to face while growing up because many doors that are open to everyone else are restricted from me just because I am not a citizen. I have made various contributions and put in a lot of hard work these past 20 years of living here. Even with DACA, I am still unable to apply for Federal Aid but that does not hold me back from reaching a higher education. This is the reason why I work so hard and started to build my credit in order to build a better future for myself. I often…

    Action Plan Letter for Financial Aid

    I am writing to appeal my current student aid suspension for the Fall 2013 semester. I am aware that this has taken place due to my college GPA and lack of attendance in classes. I have met with a student advisor and am currently taking steps to improve my careless behaviors and restart my process. In the times that I have become absent, I have been dealing with the changes of the Board of Social Services. They have changed many rules and regulations after the time I began in January of 2012. I am currently getting more information on what their dos and don’ts of this program with me being a student will or will not affect in future references. In this time I have also made out an action plan to improve and cautiously take on the next level. I have made the choice of retaking classes such as Math and English. I have declared a reasonable way to be in school and cooperate with the Board of Social Services, with that being said I have taken action and changed my major from Health Science-LPN Preparation to Pharmacy Technician. I will also be required to take fewer classes to avoid a collision with the criteria of the Board of Social Services. I have been trying to collaborate and make arrangements, and abide by the bylaws of the Social Services. They are strict, but I am willing to make a change in my passion to take on a new career field. I am not placing blame on them because I have been slacking and blowing off days in my time here as well. I can guarantee that I will not slack on any of my obligations for the Fall of 2013 and if there are any more ways to clean up my act and straighten out this mess I have created, I am always available for…

    Financial Aid Process Analysis

    In my own experience, I've found that the most frustrating part of applying to college would be the financial aid process. When applying to colleges one quickly realizes that no one is around to help you through all the fine print within applications, no one to help you remember the many passwords and log-in profiles, and nothing can prepare the most patient person for the hours that are spent at the financial aid office, only to find out that there is yet another discrepancy in the process. All this can leave an optimistic student with a heavy heart.…

    Reflective Essay: Entering Into The Fall Of High School

    I, Kourtney Brooks, am writing to you in hopes that the decision of me being ineligible for financial aid due to not maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.0 can be appealed due to extenuating circumstances. Entering into the spring semester, due to my performance in the Fall I knew there was a lot of work to be done. In the Fall, after being out of college for a few years I had to get acclimated to working and going to school full time, not to mention online schooling, which is something I hadn’t experienced before, but due to having to work to take care of myself I made the decision to try it because I know in order to truly excel in life I have to further my education. Nonetheless, I went into the spring semester a stronger student due to the mistakes in the semester that instilled the strength and…

    Financial Aid Appeal

    My name is -------- and I am writing to appeal my suspension from financial aid. I hope that you will reconsider your decision and grant my financial aid. I would like to begin thanking you in advance for taking the time to read this letter and consider my request to reinstate my financial aid at Metropolitan State University at Denver. I admit, I took so many credit hours in college, but I would like to explain the reason. As Spanish person, and because I speak English as a second language, I had to take ESL(English as a Second Language) classes for my first two years (four semesters) at CCD (Community College of Denver). The ESL program was not something that I had chosen, but something that I had to get done in order to follow my general education. I did not mean to spent so much time in college and take so many credit hours, but I did not have other options.…

    Financial Aid for Those in Need. Argumentative Essay

    Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to afford to continue his or her education into the college level. Financial aid helps those in need to continue their education, however, financial aid does not help everyone. One important group of people left out of receiving financial aid are those under the age of 25, unmarried, with no children, and completely independent of their parent 's income. Because of how the system works, these people must present their parent 's income on the FAFSA to see if they qualify for any financial aid.…
