The US Department of Education is providing on the 2016-17 FAFSA information by state on how listing the colleges in the College Release section of the FAFSA will affect a student's ability to be considered for a state grant.  ED has made the following suggestions and asks that each state select which statement works best for your situation:

1.  You must list an eligible in-state college to be considered for state grant aid. The order in which you list the colleges will not impact the results.

2.  You must list a college located in your state within the first x positions to be considered for state aid. (each state to which this applies must define x)

3.  You must list a public college in your state first to be considered for state aid.

4.  You must list a public college in your state within the first x position to be considered for state aid.  (each state to which this applies must define x)

5.  To be considered for state aid, list your preferred college first.

6.  To be considered for state aid, list your preferred colleges in the first X positions. (each state to which this applies must define x)


If none of the statements work for your state you may provide your own text.  ED would prefer it only be one sentence, but definitely no more than two.  If you do not select one of the above statements or provide your own text the message "This state provided no information" is what will be shown.

I need to hear back from you no later than Friday, November 20 as to the statement you prefer.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.  Thanks!
