Danielle, you’re right, it’s not Kevin anymore. You’re liable to find the most helpful information by calling the School Participation Division folks in Dallas.

Does anyone know who our current point of contact with federal questions would be? I am vaguely remembering that it may not be Kevin Campbell anymore but I cannot remember if that's accurate and who the new contact would be, if so. I need to make an update to add a program to our PPA and have some questions as I'm not seeing the option that seems most applicable to our new program. Trying to figure out the best person to contact about this.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm wondering how you and your institution read the "As of today, what is your parents' total current balance of cash, savings, and checking accounts? Don't include student financial aid." question on the FAFSA.
Do you take it literally or do you qualify it with "the amount that is set aside for educational expenses"?
We have a family who has money set aside to purchase a house. They have more than one child in college, and the other institution has advised them to change the amount reported, so I wanted to see what the industry standard is.
Sincerely,
Tirzah Knight

I think you could use professional judgement to lower it. You could have them write you a note. If they are actively looking now, you may be able to get a letter from their Real Estate Agent. I have done that, but I think it is pretty close to the line. I would never advocate telling them to change it.
