"Treatment of Resources and Packaging Considerations"
For many financial aid administrators, the impact of non-Title IV assistance
on a
student's eligibility for Title IV assistance can be a puzzle. What special
considerations,
if any, must an institution make when awarding and disbursing non Title IV
resources?
Is the resource need-based or non-need based assistance? Should the award be
included
as estimated financial aid or is the award income that should be included in
the
calculation of the EFC for the next award year?
NASFAA's Fall 2002 Workshop Series will examine the challenges institutions
face
when awarding and disbursing non-Title IV and Title IV resources. The
training
materials will assist financial aid administrators in answering many of the
questions
surrounding the administration of student financial aid funds.
This workshop will:
·  Clarify the usage of statutory, regulatory and IRS terminology when
identifying
different resources;
·  Examine operational strategies when packaging non-Title IV resources;
·  Identify compliance issues when packaging non-Title IV and Title IV
resources;
·  Discuss strategies for resolving potential overawards; and
·  Discuss communication between the financial aid office and academic
departments and the business office.
What You Will Learn:
·  The importance of how to identify various types of non-Title IV financial
assistance
·  The impact of non-Title IV assistance on a student's eligibility for
Title IV
assistance
·  The challenges and ethical issues institutions face when awarding and
disbursing
non-Title IV assistance
·  The issues involved in developing approaches to operational strategies
