Anyone who registered to vote in an earlier election and has not moved is Staff Renarter 5,000 students file for aid By LESLIE GUILD About 5,000 KU students filed Family Financial Statements and have applied for financial aid for next year, Riley Rogers, director of Financial Aid, said yesterday. Although the office of Financial Aid has received notification of only 4,700 processed applications, Rogers said he was "very proud" number who applied would be about 5,000. "Some students who did apply have not yet been totaled in the number of processed applications that have been reported to our office." Rozens said. Rogers speculated the delay was because some students applications were delayed or not received by Iowa City, Iowa, until after Feb. 27, when the numbers of KU students who had filed applications were lower. Rogers said students who filed applications were being sent their processed documents. Rogers KU financial aid office also received a comprehensive list of the need analysis of KU students who filed financial aid requests and budget of aid available at KU to award. "We have to get information from high school seniors and from transfer students before making awards," he said. "And for students returning to KU we have to get spring grades. So, it's likely awards won't be as good as the spring semester grades are notated." ROGERS SAID even though the office had received the comprehensive listings, financial awards to KU students would not be made until June. Rogers said the length of time between receiving the financial statements and "This year, through the office of admissions and records, we are able to list data about applicants on a word processor. We use it to assist our students available much more conveniently." making awards was improving because of "automated help." ROGERS AHS the magnetic tape used in the word processor could condense student data, which could be "drawn out" more accurately by looking at each individual's file. Rogers said a preliminary need analysis also was made by KU. "There's a fantastic number of hours in background work that goes into making the awards," he said. "And part of that is determining each student's need, which is done by looking at his file and making a preliminary need analysis. "We also have to code students by their high school, county and major because some awards require such inclusion as students from particular areas of the state." Rogers said the student financial aid report was used by some students to find Rogers said a student could file a corrected form for $3. errors they might have made when originally completing it. "This shows them the figures that were used to calculate their original financial need statement," he said. "By this a student can double check to see if any information supplied by him was misunderstood or misread." "Most mistakes made concern tax information that was reported incorrectly;" Rogers said. Standard for aid strict Although obtaining a financial award might seem like a big basset, keeping it "We actually established a standard last fall," he said. "And in order to keep our funding we must able by it in awarding." KU recently has formulated a statement of "reasonable progress," to be used to determine re-awarding of federal financial assistance, the director of financial and, said yesterday. Rogers said federal government regulations made a progress standard mandatory. The programs include National Direct Student Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work-Study, Health Professionals Student Loans, Law Enforcement Educational Loans, Basic Education Programs, and the Guaranteed Student Loan Programs. ROGERS SAID the standard included both completing a minimum number of credits with a minimum grade point or passing all requirements. A number of semesters a student had completed. For example, Rogers said, a student who wanted to keep a financial award for a second semester, after he had completed his first semester of college, would have to have 24 credit hours with a grade point average of 1.30. The minimum grade point average for award renewal was raised last fall one grade point from 1.0 to 2.0 over ten semesters. "It's not a hard standard to achieve," he said. "So very few students at KU aren't able to abide by it. And therefore, very few are considered on appeal." "WE HAVE A committee of three persons from this office who do check the appeals," he said. "And usually the only exceptions are for students who have qualified extremely extenuating circumstances." Rogers said those students who have lost their awards could appeal in writing. Rogers said although not many students lost awards because they could not obtain the standard, problems with students were common, causing the outstitting school for a semester had occurred. "We're working on just how to handle the situation now," Rogers said. "It doesn't seem fair that one student who just sits the semester out can come back and get an award, when a student who might be very good has already taken it as a semester, because he had lost his award and not completed the standard, might not get an award."
