From sjoyner at otag.org Thu Jun 1 11:36:53 2006 From: sjoyner at otag.org (Joyner, Shiela) Date: Thu Jun 1 11:37:42 2006 Subject: [Oasfaa] 2006-2007 OTAG Awards Message-ID: <10ECF874043D5B4F8898258D307160EB1B0D25@postman2.osrhe.edu> As you are probably aware, the Oklahoma Legislature adjourned on May 26 as constitutionally mandated, without having passed a FY07 budget. With appropriations undecided, we do not know the amount of funding that will be provided for OTAG awards in 2006-2007 and unfortunately cannot provide an estimated awarding cutoff date (date FAFSA received) at this time. We feel confident that the program will be funded at least at the same level as in 2005-2006, and the EFC cutoff will remain 1500. The State Regents' budget request included an increase for OTAG of $4.8 million for the primary purpose of increasing the award maximum for students attending public institutions. We do not know the outcome of this request and will provide updated information as soon as we can. We do understand that the unknown status creates packaging issues for campus financial aid offices. We also want to let you know that we are exploring possible options to alleviate the problems encountered in 2005-2006 when a significant amount of funds remained available after spring disbursements were paid. We expect be ready to provide more information regarding these possible options soon. Also, without a budget, we do not know the funding level for the Oklahoma Tuition Equalization Grant (OTEG) program, and again we do expect at least level funding. We will provide information to the participating institutions as soon as a decision regarding OTEG funding has been made. We surely do hope to be in touch soon. :-):-) *********************** Shiela Joyner, Director Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant Program Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education P. O.

Why you thought of oddities and immediately connected that subject to me, I won't ask..... Anyway, I'd like to get some feedback from you about the different things you're seeing so I can try to address those specific issues.

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the truck, the car, fishing, always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a few minutes. When I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," I said, "you might as well sweep the sidewalk." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp. Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is a husband. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Total appropriations for state financial aid programs increased $13.2 million, from $59.2 million to $72.4 million. The additional $13.2 million went to three programs-- $10 million for OHLAP; $700,000 for Academic Scholars; and $2,500,000 for the new concurrent enrollment tuition waiver at state system institutions. Following is a little more detail: Oklahoma's Promise - OHLAP -- Increase from $27.1 million to $37.1 million. The number of recipients is expected to grow from 12,000 in 2005-06 to 15,000 in 2006-07. Award levels will also increase in proportion to tuition increases. Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant (OTAG) -- no increase; the funding level will remain at $18.9 million. Academic Scholars Program -- Increase from $7.9 million to $8.6 million. This does not expand the program but will reduce the program's annual funding deficit which is currently depleting the program's trust fund. A similar increase will be necessary next year to get the program funding to a level roughly equivalent to annual expenditures. Oklahoma Tuition Equalization Grant (OTEG, for independent institutions) -- no increase from the current level of $2,185,894. Concurrent Enrollment Waiver -- This new funding item of $2.5 million will be used to reimburse state system institutions that award tuition waivers to eligible high school seniors. The following programs also had no increase in funding: National Guard Tuition Waiver -- $2,045,612 Regional Baccalaureate Scholarship Program -- $800,229 Future Teacher Scholarships -- $100,000 Nigh Scholarships -- $70,000 Chiropractic Education Program -- $40,000 Tulsa Reconciliation Scholarship -- $50,000 Bryce Fair Assoc.

She would become eligible for full pell grant funds if I use this pj, but the issue is this: I received the request after her last date of attendance...she's not enrolled for the summer session. As I interpret the regs, you have to have a valid ISIR on file by the last date of the enrollment period (which I did, but not using the PJ results). I don't believe that she's eligible, but I'm hoping someone will tell me I'm wrong. Any takers? Tammy From ANTHONY.SPANO at slma.com Tue Jun 27 08:51:33 2006 From: ANTHONY.SPANO at slma.com (ANTHONY SPANO) Date: Tue Jun 27 08:51:31 2006 Subject: [Oasfaa] Common Student Loan Consolidation Myths Message-ID: To ensure that borrowers protect themselves from an interest rate hike, Sallie Mae, the nation's largest consolidator of student loans, is working to dispel some of the most common student loan consolidation myths: MYTH: You need to have at least two student loans to consolidate. FACT: Consolidation is an option for borrowers with any number of Stafford and/or PLUS Loans, including just one. However, the law allows lenders to set a minimum balance for student loan consolidation. While many lenders require a balance of $7,500, Sallie Mae's minimum balance is $5,000. MYTH: Consolidation is an option only for student borrowers. FACT: Many parents who borrow PLUS Loans to finance their children's education may not be aware, but they are eligible to lock in a fixed interest rate by consolidating those loans. Additionally, parents may be eligible for deeper discounts on a Consolidation Loan than they would qualify for on a PLUS Loan. Parents do not have to wait until their child leaves school to consolidate, and most are likely eligible to lock down a rate of 6.125 percent, which is significantly lower than the current Prime Rate of 8 percent. MYTH: All borrowers will receive the same interest rate, monthly payment amount and repayment term if they consolidate. FACT: While all consolidation interest rates are based on the same formula, individual interest rates will vary based on a borrower's mix of loan types. Total loan balance will impact a borrower's monthly payment amount and repayment term. Therefore, it is important for borrowers to get an estimate for their own situation. Borrowers are welcome to do that with calculators on http://www.salliemae.com/consolidation or by calling 800/448-3533. MYTH: You cannot consolidate while you are in school. FACT: Through June 30, 2006, students still enrolled in school are able to consolidate their loans. Borrowers must make sure to submit a request to accelerate loans into early repayment status to the lender that holds their loans. MYTH: Direct Loan borrowers must consolidate through the Direct Loan program. FACT: Direct Loan borrowers are able to choose among any consolidation lender, including the Direct Loan program or any private-sector lender. They will find richer borrower benefits by shopping among private-sector lenders. MYTH: There are fees, prepayment penalties or credit checks associated with student loan consolidation. FACT: By law, lenders may not charge a fee for student loan consolidation. In addition, there are no prepayment penalties or credit checks when customers consolidate with a private-sector lender. Parents should note that there is no credit check for borrowers consolidating PLUS Loans with a private-sector lender, such as Sallie Mae. MYTH: You can consolidate your federal and private education loans together. FACT: Private education loans or other types of consumer loans may not be included in a Federal Consolidation Loan. However, Sallie Mae offers a Private Consolidation Loan and the ability to have those loans billed together. MYTH: Consolidation is ending on July 1. FACT: While the chance to lock in interest rates at the fourth-lowest levels in the history of the student loan program will be going away when rates are reset on July 1, consolidation will continue to serve as a valuable and practical debt-management tool for eligible borrowers seeking to lower their monthly payments and extend their repayment term. In addition, no changes have been made to key terms of Federal Consolidation Loans, including extended repayment up to 30 years depending on their total level of education indebtedness, deferment, forbearance and loan cancellation benefits, and as always, no fees, credit checks or prepayment penalties. MYTH: All lenders offer the same interest rates and benefits. FACT: By law, lenders are required to use the same interest rate formula for Consolidation Loans. However, many lenders offer interest-rate reductions for paying on time or via direct debit. It is important to read the fine print and understand how you become qualified for or disqualified for a lender's borrower benefits programs. Beyond savings, borrowers should consider customer service, flexible repayment options, online account access and applications, reputation and industry experience when selecting a lender. MYTH: Borrowers who consolidate lose any interest subsidy that existed on their underlying loans. FACT: If a borrower includes both subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford Loans in a Consolidation Loan, the portion of the Consolidation Loan that was originally subsidized will remain that way. However, borrowers adding Perkins Loans into their Consolidation Loan should seek advice, as they will lose the interest subsidy on the Perkins portion of their Consolidation Loan and they could lose potential forgiveness benefits. However, forgiveness benefits do not apply to all Perkins borrowers, only those who qualify by virtue of their military service, work in law enforcement or teaching, for example. Borrowers who will not qualify for forgiveness benefits should keep in mind that Perkins Loans by themselves do not offer benefits for on-time payments. MYTH: When borrowers consolidate, they lose their grace period. FACT: Shortly after a loan is consolidated, repayment is scheduled to begin. However, graduates can request that their consolidation application be held until the end of their grace period to maximize their grace period while still locking in a lower, in-grace interest rate. In-school borrowers who enter repayment early on their student loans will lose their grace period after they leave school, but are eligible for an in-school deferment so they would not be required to make payments while they are currently enrolled at least half time. MYTH: Consolidation forces borrowers to pay more by extending their repayment term. FACT: Because Consolidation Loans were designed to help students who need payment relief, they automatically extend the length of the loan in order to cut monthly payments. However, there are no penalties for prepayment or restrictions on accelerating repayment and borrowers should be aware that extending the life of the loan will add to their overall costs due to extra interest payments. In fact, borrowers can reduce interest expense by shortening the repayment schedule. However, borrowers are generally advised to repay other, higher-rate debt, such as credit card balances, before prepaying a low, fixed-rate Consolidation Loan. Through its toll-free consolidation hotline, 800/448-3533, and its Web site, http://www.salliemae.com/consolidation, Sallie Mae has counseled tens of thousands of student and parent borrowers this spring.

A copy of the schedule is attached for your information. With no significant increase in funding for the 2006-2007 award year, the EFC cutoff remains 1500, and we anticipate that the awarding cutoff will be in late April. More specific information regarding the cutoff date will follow soon, and for now, you can safely award otherwise eligible students with FAFSA receipt dates through April 15, 2006. Also attached is a list of institutions that participate in the OTAG program and their flat-rate award amounts for 2006-2007 (one amount for full-time undergraduates and one amount for part-time undergraduates). The amounts shown are for the full award year, one-half of which can be paid in each the fall and spring disbursement cycles. Important Reminders: * Again in 2006-2007, OTAG will not send award notices to students, and institutions should instead include OTAG award information in their award notices sent to their students. * There is no award transfer process for OTAG, and students who change institutions should not contact the OTAG office to report their transfer. Instead, the new institution needs to simply include the student in their OTAG Award Claim Form, if they find the student to be eligible for an OTAG award at their institution. We will appreciate your assistance in making sure your staff members and other departments working directly with students are aware of this so they can respond appropriately to student inquiries. Also, please check your websites to make sure they reflect this updated information as well. * Only undergraduate students will be considered for awards in 2006-2007. The OTAG statutes continue to require renewal priority for students who were awarded by the program in 1999-2000. We will continue to identify any students who qualify as renewals and who require renewal priority in order to qualify, and we will notify any affected institutions (there was only one renewal student who required award priority in 2005-2006). OTAG policy changes effective beginning in 2006-2007 are: * Students are no longer limited to 10 FTUG disbursements * Eligibility is limited to students who have not already received their first bachelor's degree * Pro-rated awards have been discontinued New reports delivery process beginning in 2006-2007: We are pleased to let you know that a new web-based reports upload/download process will be ready for use at the beginning of the fall semester. We recently worked with a couple of volunteer institutions in conducting a test on the system; they suggested a few improvements, and our IT staff expects to have the process operational soon. This new process will allow us to discontinue sending and receiving reports as e-mail attachments, and will eliminate the need to use password protection to open reports. It will automatically send e-mail messages to alert institutions when OSRHE has placed a report on the site for them and will send e-mail to the appropriate OSRHE staff when an institution has placed a report on the site for us. This reports upload/download process will be used not only for OTAG reporting, but also for OTEG, OHLAP, and Academic Scholars. More information regarding the reports delivery process will be forthcoming. Several institutions have asked when we will be ready to send out pre-populated Award Claim Forms. While we are not planning to accept Award Claim Forms for payment until August, we will soon be ready to provide "work copy" reports. We would not, however, want institutions to use these early reports to request funds since the ISIR data will in many cases become outdated as corrections are submitted to the CPS and the OTAG database is refreshed with data from the later transactions. If you would like to receive a pre-populated report for your early use in your internal processing, please send a message to reports@otag.org. More information regarding the 2006-2007 OTAG program will be forthcoming. As always we appreciate your assistance in delivering OTAG funds to Oklahoma's students. If you have questions regarding the 2006-2007 program, please contact our office. <<2006_AWD_PAY_FLAT RATE_APPROVED.doc>> <<06-07 Award Flat Rate.xls>> *********************** Shiela Joyner, Director Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant Program Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education P.

The U.S. Dept. of Education has notified State Superintendent Sandy Garrett that it has approved Oklahoma's proposal for recognition of two alternative "rigorous secondary school programs of study" to meet the requirements of the new Academic Competitiveness Grants (ACG). The two alternatives are OHLAP-Oklahoma's Promise and the High Schools That Work Award of Educational Achievement. There are now a total of 6 options for Oklahoma students to meet the curricular requirements of the ACG which are outlined in the attachment to the letter (the letter and attachment are below). ======================================================== Honorable Sandy Garrett Superintendent of Public Instruction State Department of Education Hodge Education Building 2500 North Lincoln Boulevard Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73105?4599 Dear Superintendent Garrett, This letter is in response to Oklahoma's proposal for an alternative rigorous secondary school program of study for the new Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) program for the 2006-07 school year. On May 2, 2006, Secretary Spellings sent a letter outlining four options that she has recognized as rigorous secondary school programs of study for purposes of student eligibility for the ACG program. States were given until June 1, 2006, to propose additional options. The Department is recognizing the proposal from Oklahoma for the 2006-07 school year. In addition, students from your State will be eligible for the ACG program through the options previously outlined in the Secretary's letter. The options for students in your State for the 2006-07 school year are identified in the attachment to this letter. Also, States have an opportunity to submit proposals for additional rigorous programs of study for the 2007-08 school year. Proposals for this purpose should be sent to the Department by November 1, 2006, pursuant to the details provided in the earlier letter. There is no further action needed from your State Educational Agency in order for students from your State to become eligible for funding under the ACG program. On or around July 1, 2006, we will begin to notify potentially eligible students by email or letter that they may be eligible for an ACG. Students will be directed to submit additional information to the Department demonstrating their eligibility. College financial aid offices will be notified and, after verifying the student's eligibility, will award and disburse the ACG. We look forward to a smooth implementation of this exciting new grant program, and we appreciate your support in continuing to communicate with students, parents and colleges and universities about this program. Should you have any further questions about the ACG program, please do not hesitate to contact us at the Department by emailing mailto:ACGrants@ed.gov.
