However, a student who has exhausted his or her Pell Grant eligibility for the 2016–2017 award year and who is enrolling in the summer of 2017 should receive a Pell Grant award for summer based on their 2017–2018 Pell eligibility because the student will have additional eligibility later in the 2017–2018 award year.

As noted, this provision is effective beginning with the 2017–2018 award year. Thus, an eligible student who is enrolled in the summer 2017 crossover payment period that the institution assigned to the waning 2016–2017 award year may not receive Pell Grant funds beyond 100 percent of the student’s Pell Grant Scheduled Award for the 2016–2017 award year. However, a student who has exhausted his or her Pell Grant eligibility for the 2016–2017 award year and who is enrolling in the summer of 2017 should receive a Pell Grant award for summer based on their 2017–2018 Pell eligibility because the student will have additional eligibility later in the 2017–2018 award year.

Hopefully in my next Chapter of Life (New Job - still searching) I will have the opportunity in business or personal life for us to cross paths again. It is with great pleasure that I was able to work with all of you. I'll miss you guys! You can contact me personally at waynesparks405 at gmail.com or on my cell at 405-317-3371.

Eligible students meeting the awarding criteria listed below can be claimed for payment of their OTAG awards upon the institution’s submission of a successful and timely award claim: ● EFC 1700 or lower ● FAFSA receipt date December 1, 2016 or earlier The Award Payment Schedule reflects 5328 as the maximum eligible EFC, which is consistent with Pell in 2017-2018. The maximum EFC primarily serves as a means to identify the total number of eligible students who could be awarded if sufficient funds were provided. Also attached is a list of institutions that participate in the OTAG program and their flat-rate award amounts for 2017-2018 (one amount for full-time undergraduates and one amount for part-time undergraduates). The amounts shown are for the full award year. Important dates/deadlines that institutions and the State Regents’ office must meet are listed in the attached Timelines and Procedures for 2017-2018. These have been established in an effort to maximize the efficiency of the administration of the OTAG program to best benefit students statewide. These documents are being added to the OTAG information section of the Financial Aid Resources for Institutions website http://www.okhighered.org/admin-fac/FinAidResources/ . Based on the latest information provided by our IT department, we anticipate that pre-populated OTAG Award Claim Forms for use by campus financial aid staff as “work copies only” will be available shortly. The actual Award Claim Form process for standard term fall semester disbursements will begin closer to the beginning of the fall semester, and more information in this regard will be forthcoming. Important Reminders: * OTAG recipients must be eligible residents of Oklahoma per the State Regents’ residency policy. Appearance on a pre-populated claim is not intended to confirm Oklahoma residency. Pre-populated claims are created by selecting otherwise eligible students that self-report Oklahoma residency on the FAFSA and also indicate intent to attend an eligible Oklahoma institution. Non-residents and ineligible undocumented students may appear on pre-populated claims and should be removed per OSRHE residency policy. The policy can be reviewed at http://www.okhighered.org/state-system/policy-procedures/part3.shtml . (See 3.17 In-State/Out-of-State Status of Enrolled Students) The student’s eligibility for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA, administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; see http://www.dhs.gov/deferred-action ) does not affect state aid eligibility at this time according to the OSRHE General Counsel’s office. Many DACA eligible students receive a valid social security number for work purposes only and may believe they are eligible for aid. DACA students filing a FAFSA are not eligible for OTAG and should be removed from the claim unless the specific requirements outlined in the Regent’s residency policy are met. (See 3.17.6 (4)) * OTAG does not send award notices to students. We are relying on institutions to include OTAG award information in their student award notices. Please realize that if institutions do not include OTAG awards in their student award notification process, the students will receive no confirmation that they are receiving an OTAG award. We’re counting on institutions to be the messengers. * Other than OTAG’s Oklahoma residency requirement and the statutory limitations on the types of institutions that are eligible to participate, student eligibility requirements for OTAG are the same as student eligibility requirements for Pell. Generally, if you cannot award Pell funds to a student, you cannot award OTAG funds to the student. * Remember the Regent’s residency policy change regarding military personnel remains in effect for all schools for 2017-2018. There is immediate in-state status for all full-time active duty military personnel, spouse and dependent children stationed in Oklahoma. Legislation now extends in-state status to certain veterans, spouses and dependent children as well. ROTC participants are also now eligible for in-state status. This makes these students eligible for OTAG if all other requirements are met. If these students have listed a state other than Oklahoma on the FAFSA, they will not automatically appear on your pre-populated claim forms. Please be sure to add these students to your claim. As always we appreciate your assistance in delivering OTAG funds to Oklahoma’s students. We sincerely appreciate your efforts on behalf of these students. If you have questions regarding the OTAG program or the attached documents, please contact our office. Irala K.
