From imagee at osrhe.edu Thu Dec 10 16:31:00 2015 From: imagee at osrhe.edu (Magee, Irala) Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 22:31:00 +0000 Subject: [Oasfaa] Spring OTAG Message-ID: With Fall 2015 OTAG disbursement activity now finalized by most institutions, we have determined that we cannot extend the original FAFSA receipt deadline of March 31st. Pre-populated Award Claim Forms generated by OTAG for Spring 2016 will include: * students who were awarded and disbursed in Fall 2015 * students who were awarded and subsequently cancelled in Fall 2015, unless they were cancelled due to a change in EFC greater than 1700 * students with award potential who were not awarded in fall but could be awarded in spring. Students included in an Excel pre-populated Award Claim Form for spring will be sorted in the following order: * Awarded * Cancelled * Pending On the Excel spreadsheet Award Claim Form this status will be displayed in Column J. On the Text Award Claim Form the status will be displayed in Field #11, Position 71. As in fall Award Claim Form reporting, institutions using the pre-populated form will need to delete information for students who should not be paid in spring (even if they were paid in fall) and edit the information as appropriate (FT/PT, over-awards, etc.) for the students to be paid in spring. Enrollment status for students that were awarded in the fall will be the same as reported on the fall Award Claim Form. Full-time enrollment status will be assumed for pending students. Please update as needed. If you would like to receive a "work copy" pre-populated Award Claim Form to assist you in identifying students who can be awarded in spring, please send a request to reports at otag.org. Please contact our office at 405.225.9456 or toll free 800.858.1840 or send e-mail to reports at otag.org if you have questions or require more information regarding spring OTAG awarding and disbursement processes. We wish you all Happy Holidays! Irala K. Magee Director of Scholarship and Grant Administration Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education P.O.

Please review the award criteria and submit nominations for each award to me by February 1 , 2016. The recipients will be announced at the Spring 2016 conference. Philo Brasher Emerging Leadership Award: This award was established by SWASFAA in honor of Philo Brasher who served many years in the association. The OASFAA Board of Directors selects a member, which is announced at the spring conference. The recipient should be an individual that has served OASFAA and made a contribution to the Association. OASFAA will pay the registration fee to the SWASFAA annual conference on behalf of the Oklahoma award winner. OASFAA will also match the $250 that SWASFAA donates to the general scholarship fund of the recipients? school. Honorary Membership Award: Honorary Membership in OASFAA is the highest honor that the Association can bestow on a person who is neither a member nor affiliated with a member organization. Since this is the highest award that OASFAA can give, the individual receiving it must have made truly outstanding contributions to the Association and to the profession over a sustained period of time. It is not expected that honorary membership will be granted in recognition of a single accomplishment, but for continued efforts over a period of time. Honorary membership will be conferred only with the approval of the majority of the Board of Directors. Honorary members are extended the same membership privileges as Associate members. Distinguished Service Award: This award is intended to recognize a practicing student financial aid professional at an institution. He/she should have contributed unique and long lasting efforts to the association, the profession, or the cause of financial aid in Oklahoma. In general, presentation of the awards will occur at the spring conference of the association. Partner Award - The Partner Award may be made by the Association to another individual, not a practicing aid administrator, whose efforts are important to advancing the profession or the needs of students in Oklahoma. The following guidelines should be observed in selecting recipients of the award: 1. A solicitation for nominees for the award should be made to all members through a posting on the OASFAA website and through the listserv. 2. Nominations must be made by active members and must be supported by two other members of the association. 3. Only active members of the association are eligible for nomination. 4. The Advisory Committee shall evaluate nominations for the award and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the final decision regarding the selection of recipients. 5. No current member of the Advisory Committee or voting member of the Board of Directors is eligible for the award. Please e-mail your nominees for the Philo Brasher, Honorary Membership, Distinguished Service, and Partner Awards, to me with the reasons you believe the person should be chosen to receive the award by Monday , February 1 , 2016. Thank you for your continued support of OASFAA. If you have any questions, please let me know. Sincerely, Jonna Raney Oklahoma Baptist University Director of Student Financial Services Ph: 405.585.5020 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: <1076115768.9574183.1450301550682.JavaMail.zimbra@okbu.edu> Message-ID: <963799527.9575476.1450302120224.JavaMail.zimbra@okbu.edu> The OASFAA conference will be here before you know it! Mark your calendar now to be at the beautiful Embassy Suites in downtown OKC April 13-15. The program committee is working hard to put together a great agenda, so I hope you'll plan to join us as we learn all about PPY, Perkins (whatever the issues are at that point), and any other new regulations that they throw at us between now and April. The theme for the conference is "Thunderstruck? Rumbling through the "Peakes" of Financial Aid". There will be a lot of OKC Thunder decor, auction prizes and much more! Watch for registration information in early February. I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
