This is a reminder that Friday, May 11, 2012, by Noon is the last date a 2011/2012 fall/spring or spring only loan can be originated and sent for processing.  Funds can be received after this date for spring or academic year, but the loan must be in a sent status by this deadline. If the loan is a parent loan, the PLUS Loan Request form must be completed and received by this date also.  This is firm deadline and no exceptions can be made. 

If you need to finalize a 2011/2012 academic year loan, please contact the financial aid office immediately.  Please note that this message does not apply to summer school loans.

If you are selected for verification, you are not alone!  About 30% of all FAFSA filers are selected for the verification process, which requires the school to collect documentation to check the accuracy of the FAFSA information.

Recent Changes That May Affect Your 2012-13 Federal Pell Grant

A recent change in the law limits the total lifetime amount of Pell Grant funding a student may receive to the equivalent of twelve (12) full-time semesters or six (6) years.   This change affects all Pell Grant eligible students beginning with the 2012-13 award year.

2012-2013 Financial Aid Awards for continuing students will be processed AFTER Spring 2012 grades are posted in May. You may see partial awards on your AppalNet account before then.
