The points have been tallied and contacts counted, and there were 30 students
who met the guidelines to apply for Grant Aid. These students, all
with a minimum of 75 points and a minimum of 2 contacts, will be turned
in to the Financial Aid Office for consideration, since the federal guidelines
require that students be <b><u>receiving a pell and have at least $400
of unmet need.</u></b>
<p>Student Support Services can only continue if our participants are active
and use our services. That is why we require you have several contacts.
To avoid having students pop in and say "Hi" and pop out again and expect
that to be a contact, we developed the points system. Naturally cultural
trips, college tours, transfer trips and workshops have more points than
tutoring visits, so a student could easily have 75 points with only 2 visits.
If all a student does is use the tutoring lab, then it will take several
visits.
<p>Any time a student uses our program services, <b>it is a vital source
for success in class and in college. </b> For this reason, it takes
more than one or two visits for us to really help.
<p>The 30 students whose names are being sent to the Financial Aid Office
will be hearing from us. All other students are invited to call or
come by to discuss how you, too, can be considered for the grant next semester.
<p>We appreciate all our students and would love to help you with any problems
you may be experiencing. We want to be your "GO-TO" source on campus.
We encourage any suggestions you may have for making this a better program.
