FEDERAL STUDENT AID

The cost of higher education has increased significantly and paying for higher education is a challenge for many students. Many students are forced to rely on some outside help to pay for the rising costs of postsecondary education. Some students work while attending school, others seek educational loans. Federal Student Aid (FSA) is available for GMU students. GMU is committed to helping students apply and receive FSA based on their eligibility.

The financial aid office at GMU will do its best to assist students in the application process for FSA, answer questions, and process all FSA in a professional and timely manner.

Requirements for Eligibility

Requirements for Eligibility are the following:

  • The student must be a citizen or eligible non-citizen.
  • Have a high school diploma or GED.
  • Must be enrolling in an eligible educational program.
  • Working toward a degree or certificate.
  • Making satisfactory academic progress.
  • Must not be in default of a previous federal educational loan or Pell grant.
  • If a student already has a Bachelor’s degree he/she is not eligible to receive Pell grants but educational loans are available.
  • Register with the Selective Service (if a male between the age of 18-25)

General Financial Aid Information

If you wish to apply for financial aid or you have questions, or you need sections of the handbook clarified, contact the financial aid office at the school. Additional information regarding the student aid programs available at GMU financial aid department may be found in student guide “Funding Education Beyond High School” and the “Free Application for Federal Student Aid” published by the U.S. Department of Education. Additional information may be obtained by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1 (800) 433-3243, TTY 1 (800) 730-8913, or logging on to the Internet at http://studentaid.ed.gov.

Compliance Statement

The federal Privacy ACT of 1974 requires that students be notified that the disclosure of his/her social security number is mandatory. The social security number is used to verify students’ identities to process the awarding of funds, the collection of funds, and the tracing of individuals who have borrowed funds from federal, state or private programs.

Financial Aid Mechanism

Financial aid is a mechanism that reduces out-of-pocket costs that the student and/or parents must pay to obtain a specific postsecondary education. Presented differently, financial aid is money made available to help students meet the cost of school’s attendance. Financial aid includes grants and loans. Grants do not have to be prepaid. Loans usually have low interest rates that a student must repay in accordance to the individual loan program terms. Most of the loans can be arranged to require payment after a grace period of several months upon graduation, or upon the student’s termination from the program or if a student’s attendance falls below half time. Financial aid is awarded to students who have “need”. Need is the difference between the amount of money that the family will be expected to contribute to meet student costs and the cost of education at this school.

Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs

The college is approved for, and does participate in the following USDE Title IV programs intended to defray the costs of attending for those students eligible for financial aid considerations:

GRANT (FREE)AID (This aid does not have to be repaid)

Federal PELL Grant Program (FPELL) $5,645 maximum annual limit (Does not require repayment)

For more specific information on each program please refer to the student guides available at Student Guide website  http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/index.html

LOANS TO STUDENT AND/OR PARENT  (THIS AID MUST BE REPAID!  THESE LOANS ARE NOT DISCHARGED BY BANKCRUPTY)

Direct Federal Stafford LOANS: If student obtain a loan, the student will have to repay full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund, and that, if the student receives federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of the money not paid from federal financial aid funds.

**Subsidized loans (Interest earned while in school and during grace period is covered by the USDE).

**Unsubsidized loans (Interest earned while in school and during grace period may be delayed until the repayment period and will be added to the loan balance).

**Parent loans (PLUS) (Interest due from parents as last disbursement on a loan is made)Perkins loan program (Interest earned while in school and during grace period is covered by the USDE).

STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO KEEP THEIR LOAN DEBT AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. THESE LOANS ARE AGRESSIVELY COLLECTED BY THE USDE AND ITS CONTRACTORS. INTEREST LIABILITY ON LATE PAYMENTS IS VERY EXPENSIVE. LACK OF PAYMENT IS A VERY DAMAGING TO UNITS HISTORY AND FUTURE BORROWING POWER.

Annual loan limits and based on educational levels within the course of enrollment. Loan levels are specifically designated to the course of study at this institution. For example, If the student attended two years at a community college, but it enrolls in a course that is one academic year long without any transfer hours, the correct student level will be 1 and not 3rd.loan level.

For more specific information on each program please refer to the student guides available at Student Guide

Application For Aid, Procedures And Forms

Financial aid application for this institution is Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form needs to be completed as instructed on the form. Documentation to substantiate the data entered on the form may be required by the financial aid office. Forms and assistance in completing them are available at this school during school hours. In addition to the FAFSA, the institution requires a series of forms as they apply to the individual student aid program and to the student’s individual family circumstances.

Federal Pell Grant Program: Funds received under this program are not subject to repayment from the student.

Deadline: FAFSA applications must be received by June 30 in the year on which the application is intended for. SAR or ISIR must be submitted to the financial aid office by September 29, of the award year from which aid is requested from, or your last day of enrollment in 2013-14, whichever comes first. A valid ISIR requires signatures of student, spouse and/or parents, when the ISIR has been corrected.

Renewal Process: A FPELL Grant award is received for one award year (July 1 to June 30 of the following year), and is not automatically renewed for the next award year. Students must re-apply for the FPELL Grant and submit a copy of the new SAR or ISIR to the financial aid office for each award year.

Disbursement: They are made based on per payment period via a check payable to the student or via a direct units to the student’s tuition account.

Federal William D. Ford Direct Loan Program

Funds received from either of the loan programs are subjected to repayment from the student. Before a loan document is submitted to the USDE, students must be fully aware of the financial responsibilities under these loan programs, the rights that the student has under the individual loan program conditions, and the consequences of failing to meet the repayment obligations.

Federal Direct Subsidized Loan

Federal Direct Subsidized Loans are made directly to students from the U.S. Department of Education. Subsidized loans are need based. Students may borrow up to the amount of the student’s cost of attendance less other expected financial assistance (not to exceed annual loan limits).

The Federal Government pay interest subsidies while the student is enrolled or during periods of deferment. Student would pay a combined origination/guaranty fee of a variable percentage but not to exceed 3% rebated directly to the U.S. Department of Education. Students may receive both subsidized and Unsubsidized loans provided the combine amount borrowed does not exceed applicable loan limits and that the student’s eligibility for a subsidized Federal Stafford Loan be determined prior to determining eligibility for the Unsubsidized loan. The law also stipulates that borrowers may apply for both subsidized and unsubsidized loans using a single application and that such borrowers must be given a single repayment schedule.

Maximum Annual Award: First level $3,500, Second level $4,500, Third level $5,500 (Max aggregate $23,000)

Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan

These loans expand the ability of the U.S. Department of Education to make “Unsubsidized” Federal Stafford Loans to students. These loans carry many of the same terms and conditions associated with subsidized Federal Stafford Loans with the following two exceptions:

(1) Unsubsidized loans are not need based. Students may borrow up to the amount of the student’s cost of attendance less other expected financial assistance (not to exceed annual loan limits).

(2) The Federal Government does not pay interest subsidies to the lender while the student is enrolled or during periods of deferment. Interest must be paid or capitalized, i.e., added to the principal.

Deadlines: Applications need to be submitted at least 30 days before the end of the loan period for which the loan has been requested. The student is responsible in locating his or her own lender that participates in the FFEL Loan Program.

Maximum Annual Award:

Dependent student: with Parent loan First level $2,000, Second level $2,000, Third level $2,000 (Max aggregate $8,000)

Dependent student without Parent loan or independent students: First level $6,000, Second level $6,000, Third level $7,000 (Max aggregate $14,000)

Disbursement: Checks are issued to the school and deposited to the student’s tuition account. It is the student’s responsibility to submit all required forms and documentation to the financial aid office before disbursement. For additional information, read the pamphlet “Direct loan Entrance Interview”

Determining Need

The information you report on the FAFSA form when you apply for aid, is used in a formula established by U.S. Congress that calculated your Expected Family Contribution.

Grace Mission University utilizes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for students applying for aid. This form will be processed by a contractor of the U.S. Department of Education at no cost to the student. The results will be provided in the form of an Electronic Student Aid Report with the calculation of the Expected Family Contribution.

Cost Of Attendance

This institution uses the annual budgets published by the CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID COMMISSION. The estimate amount it will cost a student to go to school during an academic year of approximately 9 months is stated below.

Definitions related to financial aid:

The following definitions correspond to some common terms used within the financial aid terminology:

ACADEMIC YEAR:  24 Semester unit hours of instruction for a full time student. The midpoint of the academic year shall be a minimum of 12 semester unit hours. In effect, all students enrolled in courses with an academic year scheduled to be completed in less than 24/30 weeks, regardless of the number of Semester unit hours. Hours offered, would have aid eligibility reduced in proportion to the number of weeks and hours in the course of study in relation to the academic year.

COST OF ATTENDANCE: Institutional charges for tuition, fee, books and supplies in addition to an estimated cost to the student for living allowances as room, board, transportation and personal combined compose the cost of attendance for an academic year or less as the cost of attendance or educational budget.

UNITS BALANCE: A units balance occurs when tuition payments using Title IV funds have been received by the institution in excess of the amount of charges assessed to the student. Units balances are paid within 14 business days from the day the units balance was generated. Students must be responsible for budget their own funds and for securing that the funds are used for education related expenses.

DEPENDENT STUDENT: She/he is an individual who does not meet the independent student criteria. This student is required to submit his/her application and  student and parents’ income and assets data.

DEPENDENT: She/he is an individual other than the spouse that has been supported and will continue to be supported (50% or more of that individual personal expenses) by the student and/or spouse. If that individual is and will continue to be supported by the student parent(s), that individual would be a dependent of the parent(s) NOT a dependent of the student.

EXPECTED FAMILY CONTRIBUTION (EFC): Is the application of the U.S. Congressional formula to the student’s family income and assets entered in the FAFSA and used as the calculated amount that a family is expected to contribute to offset the student cost of attendance.

If funds from the grants programs still due from the student, those funds are payable at the rate of 50%. Grant funds due from the student must be repaid within 45 days from the student’s withdrawal date. Students may make repayment arrangements with the U.S. Department of Education within the 45 days and present proof of such arrangements to the institution.

No additional aid will be available to the student until all Financial Aid Transcripts are received by Grace Mission University.

Notification of Rights under FERPA for Postsecondary Institutions

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) afford eligible students certain rights with respect to their education records. (An “eligible student” under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution.)  These rights include:

1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days after the day the Grace Mission

University receives a request for access. A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic

department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The         school official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be

inspected. If the records are not maintained by the school official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall

advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.

2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate,

misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA.

A student who wishes to ask the school to amend a record should write the school official responsible for the record,

clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed.

If the school decides not to amend the record as requested, the school will notify the student in writing of the decision and

the student’s right to· a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing

procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

3. The right to provide written consent before the university discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from the

student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

The school discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the Grace Mission University in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person serving on the board of trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee. A school official also may include a volunteer or contractor outside of the [School] who performs an institutional service of function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent or a student volunteering to assist another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the Grace Mission University.

4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the [School] to comply

with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office

U.S. Department of Education

400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC  20202

[NOTE:  In addition, a school may want to include its directory information public notice, as required by §99.37 of the regulations, with its annual notification of rights under FERPA.]

See the list below of the disclosures that postsecondary institutions may make without consent.

FERPA permits the disclosure of PII from students’ education records, without consent of the student, if the disclosure meets certain conditions found in §99.31 of the FERPA regulations. Except for disclosures to school officials, disclosures related to some judicial orders or lawfully issued subpoenas, disclosures of directory information, and disclosures to the student, §99.32 of FERPA regulations requires the institution to record the disclosure. Eligible students have a right to inspect and review the record of disclosures. A postsecondary institution may disclose PII from the education records without obtaining prior written consent of the student-

  • To other school officials, including teachers, within the Grace Mission University whom the school has determined to have legitimate educational interests. This includes contractors, consultants, volunteers, or other parties to whom the school has outsourced institutional services or functions, provided that the conditions listed in §99.31(a)(l)(i)(B)(J)- (a)(l)(i)(B)(2) are met. (§99.31(a)(l)) the student’s enrollment or transfer, subject to the requirements of §99.34. (§99.31(a)(2))
  • To authorized representatives of the U.S. Comptroller General, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Secretary of Education, or State and local educational authorities, such as a State postsecondary authority that is responsible for supervising the university’s State-supported education programs. Disclosures under this provision may be made, subject to the requirements of §99.35, in connection with an audit or evaluation of Federal­ or State-supported education programs, or for the enforcement of or compliance with Federal legal requirements that relate to those programs. These entities may make further disclosures of PII to outside entities that are designated by them as their authorized representatives to conduct any audit, evaluation, or enforcement or compliance activity on their behalf. (§§99.3l(a)(3) and 99.35)
