Financial aid award notifications may be late
By Rebecca J. Cisek
Kansan staff writer
Students may receive their financial aid award letters late because of a delay by the U.S. Department of Education, KU financial aid officials said last week.
Jerry Rogers, director of financial aid, said that award letters might arrive to students later than the first weeks of May because the department changed the methods for evaluation of a student's financial need.
Jeff Weinberg, associate director of financial aid, said that the two-month delay from the department affected all universities.
Two factors prevented the financial aid office from processing the
aid applications, Rogers said.
and appraise. First, financial aid services such as ACT had to wait until early February for the department's approval of their evaluation methods. In addition, there was a delay on all the software the office uses from these services.
Distribution of the award letters also has been slowed because one-third of financial aid applications are selected at random to be verified. Tracking, or collection of tax forms for verification, is to begin this week, Roeters said.
He said that some award letters could arrive extremely late if parents or students whose applications are selected to be verified
procrastinated in sending in their tax forms. Any discrepancy between the aid application and the tax forms would further delay the process.
Weinberg said that during the delay, the office began doing a lot of paperwork by hand that usually was done on the computer.
Weinberg said that the office now had all the data it needed and was trying to catch up from the delay.
The first batch of student data was to be loaded Saturday, Weinberg said, and the office should have the first part of the aid data by today. The second part of the data, which is the adjustments to incorrect data, would be available to the office after
Weinberg said that if no other problems arose, such as with the need analysis system, the office could send out the award letters on time in early May.

Rogers said that it was most important to get the award letters out to incoming freshman because they would be making their final decisions on which college to attend.

Weinberg said that any delay would not affect a student's chances of getting financial aid.
