From pmcconahay at ou.edu Mon Sep 10 09:15:49 2001 From: pmcconahay at ou.edu (Mc Conahay, Pamela K) Date: Tue Mar 23 20:17:16 2004 Subject: [Lender] Help! Students Failing to File FAFSAs Message-ID: <55206A473154D011924D0020AFF7ACB507F79A57@mail1.oulan.ou.edu> Dear Lender Colleagues: We've encountered approximately 50 students during fall registration who failed to file their FAFSAs for 2001-2002 because they confused the FAFSA with the MPN. Lenders have sent out reminders to students (which I believe is required) that their MPN is still on file & active so no new MPN is required. The students (arguably not our brightest) confused the MPN with the FAFSA, so they thought they didn't have to file a 2001-2002 FAFSA. This happened despite them getting PIN mailers, renewal applications and our office running ads in the newspaper, on cable TV and sending out mass e-mails reminding them to file a 2001-2002 FAFSA. Would you please check the text of your letters? If it is possible, please add a reminder that filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid is still an annual requirement, even though the MPN is not. You might direct them to www.fafsa.ed.gov since that web site will be applicable to all students. Thanks!
