[Oasfaa] OHLAP-Plus awards for Spring 2007

[Alexander, Carol]

We have determined that the OHLAP-Plus scholarships that were made available for fall 2006 will also be available for spring 2007.  As you will recall there was a limited one-time source of residual scholarship funds available to be awarded to students from the federal Gear Up grant.  We intially did not expect the funds to be sufficient for the spring 2007 semester awards.  However based on fall claims to date, we now expect adequate funds available for spring semester awards.  The funds are required to be awarded under criteria similar to the OHLAP-Plus award of previous years.  

The funds are available to students under the following stipulations:
*	The student must be receiving an OHLAP award
*	The student must have graduated from high school in 2002 or before
*	The student must be eligible for a Pell Grant of any amount (EFC of $3,850 or less, this is the same as fall 2006)
*	The amount of the award will be equivalent to the student's OHLAP award
*	The award must not create an overaward situation; however, because these funds are federal GEAR UP funds, the award can be used to replace EFC
