The Scholarship Coordinator Resources link will provide scholarship administrators with the awarding timeline, guidelines for administering scholarships, a sample offer letter, information on how to calculate financial need, cost of attendance, and a sample letter to use when thanking donors (should be included with each scholarship offer).
If you will be issuing a one time payment to a student that you would like to use your general fund account (0011) for and don't already have an item type set up, please follow these steps:
-
Complete a budget transfer from the department/college general fund account to Financial Aid
-
Complete a roster on the FW90 transaction using the Financial Aid item type number
-
Complete the Conflict of Interest Form and return it to the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships.
For scholarship administration questions, please contact Staci Mueller at staci.mueller@uni.edu or Kristin Peiffer at kristin.peiffer@uni.edu.
Key for FW09 reports for EFC changes: Per FERPA guidelines, we have now masked the EFC on FW09 reports to respect a student's privacy of their education record. The column that displays EFC will now read the following instead. The key is below:
High - Pell grant eligible - 0-5,576
Medium - Iowa Resident - 5,576 - 21,294
Medium - Out-of-state/Non-resident - 5,576 - 31,816
None - Iowa Resident - EFC is above 21,294
None - Out-of-state/Non-resident - EFC is above 31,816
If it is blank, a student has not filed a FAFSA for that particular aid year. You can re-run your reports to try and pick up new students who have filed the FAFSA.
