Book excerpt: Federal Student Aid's core mission is to ensure that all eligible Americans benefit from federal financial assistance--grants, loans and work-study programs--for education beyond high school. The programs administered comprise the nation's largest source of student aid. Every year, the U.S. Department of Education provides more than $83 billion in aid to nearly 14 million postsecondary students and their families. This guide is a comprehensive resource on student financial aid from the U.S. Department of Education. Grants, loans, and work-study are the three major forms of aid available through the Department's Federal Student Aid office. The guide discusses the programs and presents information on the application process. It is organized into the following sections: (1) What You should Know Before You Apply; (2) How Do I Apply; (3) Repaying Your Student Loan; (4) Important Terms; and (5) State Higher Education Agencies.

Download or read book Federal Student Financial Aid written by National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As college costs have soared and the U.S. economy struggles to move out of the recession, more and more Americans have relied on federal student financial assistance programs to help them meet their postsecondary expenses. Data from the Federal Student Aid (FSA), an office of the U.S. Department of Education (ED), show that the number of students applying for federal financial assistance rose from around 12.9 million in 2006-2007 to nearly 19.5 million in 2010-2011. From 1999-2000 to 2009-2010, the total amount of Title IV federal financial aid awarded to students jumped from $62.1 billion to an estimated $146.5 billion, an increase of 136%. The major federal aid programs, authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act (HEA), accounted for 71% of the $208 billion in total financial aid received by college students. However, despite the increasing importance of federal aid programs, the majority of Americans have little knowledge of the Title IV programs or the process they need to follow to apply for these funds. At the same time, members of Congress have been debating the best ways to reform and strengthen the federal aid programs. It is important that Congress and the general public understand these programs and the students they serve. To help increase knowledge of these vital programs, the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) has produced a document titled, "Federal Student Financial Aid: 2011 National Profile of Programs in Title IV of the Higher Education Act". This "National Profile" provides detailed information about each of the programs authorized under Title IV of the HEA, including: (1) descriptions of the federal student aid programs; (2) recent trends in federal program appropriations; (3) income levels of students and families who receive aid; and (4) a description of the federal student aid application process. Table 1 provides a brief summary of the programs authorized by Title IV and information about recipients and federal funding trends. The information used for the "National Profile" is the latest data available from the U.S. Department of Education and The College Board. In some instances, the most recent funding data were for the 2009-2010 fiscal year and recipient data were for the 2007-2008 academic year. In additional to the Title IV programs, college students and their families may qualify for financial assistance from other federal sources, such as Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, tuition tax credits, tax-advantaged education savings accounts, and grants and loans from other federal programs. While these other sources are important, they are not included in this report because the bulk of the federal funds provided to college students and their families is provided through programs authorized by Title IV of the HEA. Five Sample Financial Aid Award Packages for Award Year 2010-2011 are appended. (Contains 9 tables and 10 figures.).

This book was released on 2010 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, the National Association of State Student Grant and Aid Programs (NASSGAP) completes a survey regarding state-funded expenditures for postsecondary student financial aid. This report, the 41th annual survey, represents data from academic year 2009-10. Data highlights include: (1) In the 2009-2010 academic year, the states awarded about $10.8 billion in total state funded student financial aid, an increase of about 3.8 percent in nominal terms and 6.0 percent in constant dollar terms from the $10.4 billion in aid awarded in 2008-09; (2) The majority of state aid remains in the form of grants. In 2009-10, more than 4.07 million grant awards were made representing about $8.9 billion in need and nonneed-based grant aid, an increase of about 3.6 percent from the $8.6 billion in grants awarded in 2008-09. Of the grant funds awarded in 2009-10, 73 percent was need-based and 27 percent was nonneed-based, almost the same percentage as seen in 2008-09; (3) Funding for undergraduate need-based grant aid increased $275 million nationwide from about $6.1 billion in 2008-09 to about $6.3 billion in 2009-10, an increase of 4.5 percent; (4) Ten states (California, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina, Washington, Indiana, Minnesota) collectively awarded more than $4.6 billion in undergraduate need-based grant aid, accounting for about 74 percent of all aid of this type; and (5) States provided more than $1.9 billion in nongrant student aid, including loans, loan assumptions, conditional grants, work-study, and tuition waivers, up about 4.4 percent from last year. Loans and tuition waivers again accounted for 71 percent of nongrant funds awarded. All fifty states (plus Washington DC and Puerto Rico) reported state-funded undergraduate programs with a need component, of which 48 states (plus Washington DC and Puerto Rico) had a program that was exclusively need-based. Thirty states identified programs which made awards based only on merit. Exclusively need-based aid constituted 47 percent of all aid to undergraduates, exclusively merit-based aid accounted for 18 percent, with the rest, 35 percent, accounted for by other programs and by programs with both need and merit components. The amount of undergraduate aid awarded in 2009-10 through programs with a merit component increased to about $3.4 billion from about 3.2 billion in 2008-09. This compares to $4.5 billion awarded to undergraduates through programs based only on need. South Carolina, Georgia, Washington DC, and West Virginia provided the greatest amount of grant aid on a per capita basis. South Carolina, Georgia, West Virginia, Tennessee, and New Jersey were the largest providers of aid per capita for the population between ages 18 and 24. South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, New Jersey, and West Virginia again provided the most undergraduate grant dollars compared to undergraduate full time equivalent enrollment. South Carolina, Georgia, Vermont, Tennessee, and West Virginia had the highest proportion of total expenditures for state-funded grants compared to State fiscal support for higher education. (Contains 14 tables and 6 figures.) [For "40th Annual Survey Report on State-Sponsored Student Financial Aid, 2008-2009 Academic Year," see ED527270.].
