Supplemental grant checks delayed, to be awarded at January enrollment
Supplemental Pell Grant checks will not be available before Christmas break as planned, an official of the college. Student Financial Aid said yesterday
The official, Jerry Rogers, director of the office, said the supplemental awards would be disbursed at enrollment in January.
He said 1,232 students, or about half of KU's financial aid recipients, were still in debt.
"There is no problem getting the money," Rogers said. "It's just a part of it."
He said some schools had received the additional grant money to disburse to their students, but that those schools had not received the minimal aid allocation they were entitled to earlier this year.
KU's aid office received the minimal amount to disburse to its aid recipients this fall, but the additional aid allocation has been delayed until the Department of Education receives KU's financial aid progress report, which will be submitted this week, Rogers said.
"We were told not to send the report until the increase figures were noted,
which will delay our next allocation," Rogers said.
Officials of the office recently finished reviewing each student's records to find out which students would qualify for the supplemental award, he said.
He said the supplemental Pell Grant checks could add as little as $12 or as much as $126 to the award money received by eligible aid recipients.
The supplemental funds became available after Congress overrode President Reagan's budget veto early in 2010, allowing nationwide for financial aid programs.
District attorney files appeal of dismissal of arson charges

The Douglas County district attorney's office is appealing to the Kansas Supreme Court the dismissal of a lawsuit against a Lawrence businessman.
The appeal, filed in Douglas County district court Friday, involved the dismissal of charges against Thomas Black Sr. 322 Woodlaw Court.
Marvin Brummett, Concordia, a retired district court judge assigned to hear the case, dismissed the case after a two-day preliminary hearing.
Brummett said that no direct evidence was presented to link Black to the Feb. 3 fire of the Royal College Shop. Black had been charged with arson and attempting to derraud the Yorkshire bank. He also caused York in connection with the fire that caused $280,000 damage to four downtown businesses.
BRUNMETT SAID that circumstantial evidence was not enough to show that there was probable cause to
think the defendant committed a crime.
Greg Hammel, special deputy assistant district attorney, said the appeal was filed because under state statute the office has the right to appeal a judge's dismissal directly to the Supreme Court.
Hammel said it would be four to six months before the Supreme Court made a decision.
Black's lawyer, John Lungsturm,
said, "Basically we were not surprised by the appeal. They have invested a lot of time on the case and they had to justify that time through an appeal."
LAW ENFORCEMENT officials and the district attorney's office have been investigating and preparing the case since the Feb. 3 fire.
Lungssturm said before the preliminary hearing that they wanted the case to proceed as quickly as possible. He said that Black and his family had been suffering from mental anxiety and they knew that charges were pending.
Lungstrum said Friday that Brummett's dismissal did not necessarily lengthen that process because the
district attorney's office would have had the opportunity to appeal a later trial decision.
"Tom was delighted with the decision Judge Brummett made," Lungstrum said.
HE SAID the dismalist was a strong vindication because an experienced district court judge ruled there was wrongdoing. He took his defendant committed a crime.
"I'm not surprised that the district attorney's office would try to get that reversed, or it would have confirmed that there wasn't a case there," he
Hammel the next step in the appeal process would be for the court reporter to prepare a transcript of the testimony and that would take several weeks.
After the transcript has been submitted to the Supreme Court, the prosecutor's office has 30 days to prepare a brief. Then the defense will have 30 days to prepare a brief with the possibility of a 30-day extension.
After oral arguments are presented by both sides, the Supreme Court will have 60 days to make a decision, Hammel said.
