5,000 students file for aid
Staff Reporter
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 processable applications, Rogers said he had heard that no 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." Roers said.
Hogers speculated the delay was because some students' applications were not received by the campus. Iowa City, Iowa, until after Feb. 27, when the numbers of KU students who had filed applications were high.
Rogers said students who filed applications were being sent their processed financial statement by mail. He said the goal was to help the comprehensive list of the need analysis of KU students who filed financial applications to the budget of aid and availability at KU to students.
ROGERS SAID even though the office had received the comprehensive listings, financial awards to KU students would not be made until June 1.
"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 given until the spring semester grades are posted."
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 also have a set of patient residents available much more conveniently."
making awards was improving because of "automated help."
ROGERS SAID the magnetic tape used in the word processor could condense student data, which could be "drawn out" due to the need 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 have requirements such as passing an online exam from particular areas of the state."
Rogers said the student financial aid report was used by some students to find
errors they might have made when originally completing it.
Rogers said a student could file a corrected form for $3.
"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." People said.
Standard for aid strict
Although obtaining a financial award might seem like a big hassel, keeping it can be even harder.
KU recently has formulated a statement of "reasonable progress", to be used to determine re-awarding of federal financial aid, and the director of financial aid, said yesterday.
Rogers said federal government regulations made a progress standard mandatory.
"We actually established a standard last fall," he said. "And in order to keep our funds we must abide by it in awarding."
The programs include National Direct Student Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work-Study, Health Professionals Student Loans, Law Enforcement Educational Loans, Basic Education Loans, and the Guaranteed Student Loan Programs.
ROGERS SAID the standard included both completing a minimum number of credits with a minimum grade point of 3.0, and a maximum number of scratches a student had completed.
For example, Rogers said, a student who wanted to keep a financial award for a graduate would have his first semester college, would have to have 24 credit hours with a grade point average.
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 isn't a hard standard to achieve," he said. "So very few students at KU aren't able to able by ft. And therefore, very few are considered on appeal."
Rogers said those students who have lost their awards could appeal in writing.
"WE HAVE A committee of three persons from this office who do check the appeals," be said. "And usually the only exceptions are for students who have qualified extremely extinguating circumstances."
"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 a freshman has not been awarded a semester, because he had lost his award and not completed the standard, might not get an award."

Rogers said although not many students lost awards because they could not obtain the standard, problems with students were widespread, schooling for a semester had occurred
