NASFAA’s recommendations span strengthening need-based aid through the Pell Grant program and simplifying the FAFSA, to consolidating loan repayment plans and standardizing language in financial aid aid offers. http://www.nasfaa.org/hea_priorities Making Financial Aid Work for All As Congress inches closer to taking a wholesale look at the federal role in higher education through the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA), NASFAA is pleased to outline recommendations to make financial aid work for all. www.nasfaa.org [Oklahoma Baptist University] Jonna Raney Director of Student Financial Services 405.585.5020 Oklahoma Baptist University -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Really, we try to apply that philosophy to all our PJs. So we've done PJs for EFC adjustments for students and parents who willingly quit their jobs, and also for those who are fired. We focus on the economic impact those actions have on the student and/or family-how long have they been without the income and what is the amount of income loss, primarily. We've been applying this philosophy the best we can for over 15 years. But as you said, there is no right or wrong. Linda [cid:image001.png at 01D5373C.65A18FB0] LINDA KOEHN GOOD, M.S.
