Institutions will be bringing current Oklahoma's Promise scholarship recipients to the Capitol to meet with their legislators and to have a group photo taken with the Governor. Students will be thanking legislators and the Governor for 30 years of supporting Oklahoma's Promise (1992-2022; see the attached notice that was sent to legislators). Though there is not a public event, at the beginning of the day the Oklahoma's Promise students will be hearing from three former recipients who now work at the Capitol - Rep.

It was wonderful to see everyone at the conference last week! I wanted to gather some input on institutional scholarships. Our current limitation is that students may receive their institutional aid for a maximum of eight semesters. As I'm sure many of you are, we are seeing more and more students staying for ninth and tenth semesters as a result of major changes, insufficient credits, etc. What is the policy at your institution? Do you allow more than eight semesters, and if so, how many? Do you allow students to appeal or request additional semesters? If so, under what circumstances? We sway back and forth between not wanting to "open up the flood gates" and encourage students to take longer than needed and possibly damage our four-year graduation rates, but also want to see students able to complete their degrees when they find themselves in these situations. Would love to hear some feedback as we look at improvements or possible changes to our current policy.

I served as a mentor to a wonderful lady at a Texas institution last year. We have developed a relationship by now based on experiences we’ve shared via our multiple emails and Zooms. She recently received a promotion and I got to share in the celebration with her, as I now count her as a friend. She will be attending the NASFAA conference in June and I am looking forward to meeting her in person for the first time. I tell you all of this to encourage you to consider participating in either capacity. If you’re in this field and have stuck around and/or planning to stick around, you have a ton to offer your colleagues, I promise! It was so great to see many of you last week and I look forward to seeing you again in the fall when the SWASFAA Boot Camp and Conference events are in Oklahoma City. Stay tuned for those details!

The program provides an opportunity to build relationships between financial aid professionals with different levels of experience. Our goal is to provide mentors and mentees with a forum for one-on-one interactions throughout the year. Anyone who wants to build their leadership skills should apply to be a mentee. Whether you are new to financial aid or just want to make a connection with another financial aid administrator, please consider taking advantage of this opportunity. Mentors should be seasoned financial aid professionals who are willing to share their time and experience with others. SWASFAA Mentoring Program Application is now open! The cost of the program is free. Complete the application here. The application deadline is April 30, 2022.

I hope all is going well with all of you this week! I want to follow up on a question asked at the OASFAA conference during our session addressing the upcoming changes to the OTAG program. The question: If a student is technically Pell eligible at full-time but would not receive a disbursement of Pell because of less than full-time enrollment (dropping off the Pell chart), could the student be given an OTAG disbursement during that payment period? Answer: After a careful analysis of the administrative rules for the program, we need to let you know that a student in the above scenario would not be eligible for an OTAG disbursement for that payment period. A student needs to be receiving a Pell payment for the payment period in question to be eligible for an OTAG disbursement. We will be monitoring issues and outcomes, and we would appreciate your input on suggestions to make the program more efficient and effective. Take care!

The below response was just sent to me so I thought I would share incase it helps someone else. It appears my student had a Non-defaulted FFEL loan not held by ED so it was ineligible for the deferment. So now it has to be assigned to ED in order to reverse the default and put the loans back in good standing.

FFEL loans were not initially included but were added later, so any student loan that defaulted after March 20, 2020 is set to be assigned to the U.S. Department of Education in order to reverse the default and put the loans back in a good standing. If the borrower's loan default prior to that date, then all collection efforts have been placed on pause and the borrower can consolidate to get the loan out of default. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
