Students who don’t fill out FAFSA are missing out on their share of billions in financial aid – CNBC

Posted: October 12, 2019 at 10:45 am


without comments

As of Oct. 1, college-bound students can apply for their share of $150 billion in federal student aid, including grants, loans and work-study. To apply, they need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or the FAFSA.

FAFSA funds are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Sallie Mae recently polled 2,000 undergraduate students and parents and asked if they submitted the FAFSA. According to Sallie Mae's analysis, during the 2018-2019 school year, only 25% of undergraduate students completed the FAFSA the first month it was open, and just 77% of undergraduate students completed it at all.

By not filling out the FAFSA, American college students are missing out. Federal grants do not need to be repaid, federal student loans have low interest rates, and work-study programs can be a convenient way to simultaneously fund an education and build a resume.

Because FAFSA funds are distributed as applications come in, families who plan ahead can gain an upper hand. Sallie Mae reported that 80% of students from families that make between $35,000 and $100,000 filled out the FAFSA, but 75% of students from families making less did so.

NerdWallet estimates that students who are Pell Grant-eligible missed out on $2.6 billion in free FAFSA college aid in 2018 simply because they did not submit the FAFSA.

In Sallie Mae's poll, the company asked the students and parents about their reasons for not submitting the FAFSA.

Here's what they said:

Among the almost quarter of college students who did not apply, nearly 40% said their reason was they didn't think they would qualify. But there is no income cut-off to apply for federal student aid.

Charlie Javice, founder and CEO of Frank, an online FAFSA platform, told CNBC Make It, "It's really important as FAFSA season comes up that people don't forget that there is no such thing as being too rich to file FAFSA."

Javice said families who make more than $250,000 do not typically qualify for grants or subsidized loans but pointed out that a vast majority of Americans make less than $250,000. Being too rich "only applies to less than 5% of the U.S. population. Everyone should be doing it."

The second most common reason students gave for not completing the FAFSA was they missed the deadline, with 15% of those who did not complete the form giving this reason.

Each year, there is a nine-month period during which students can submit applications for both the current year and the future year. To avoid confusion, students should be sure to apply for aid for their upcoming school year as soon as possible.

Most students complete the FAFSA online, but students who choose to complete the application on paper should submit their documents so that a federal processor reviews them by June 30. According to Edvisors, if a FAFSA is received after the June 30 deadline, it will not be processed.

For those looking to avoid this challenge, here are the deadlines:

Students should also make sure they are aware of the deadlines for applying for financial aid from their schools, states and local governments. The Department of Education and Edvisors provide resources for students to check their local deadlines.

Of those who didn't complete the FAFSA, 8% said it was because the application was too complicated, 9% said they didn't have time, and 10% said they didn't have the necessary information they needed to complete the form.

In order to complete the FAFSA, students will need their tax returns, information about their family's bank accounts and assets, and the names of the schools they are interested in attending.

Over the past decade, the Department of Education has taken steps to make the form simpler and more intuitive, including redesigning the application website adding automatic error notifications if a field has been filled incorrectly. As of 2019, the FAFSA can even be completed on your phone.

To test these improvements, I filled out the revamped FAFSA form myself. It took about five and a half minutes. The IRS data retrieval tool makes it easy for students to automatically transfer their tax return information, so I didn't need to go searching for my returns. The banking information required was limited, so I didn't need to go searching through bank statements.

"I think [the Department of Education] has definitely made some strides," Sallie Mae spokesperson Rick Castellano told CNBC Make It. "The IRS data retrieval tool is a game-changer, and the ability to use your prior year tax return is huge."

Castellano said that though it can take closer to 30 minutes for some students to complete the FAFSA, "it's well worth it, given what you're getting in line for."

Finally, 14% of those who did not submit an application for free federal aid said they did not because they didn't know about the FAFSA.

If you need help filling out the form, be sure to check out CNBC Make It's step-by-step guide to completing the FAFSA.

The Department of Education says that online FAFSA applications are typically processed within three to five days, and that paper applications are typically processed within seven to 10 days. After an application is processed, students should receive a copy of their Student Aid Report, which includes their Expected Family Contribution and determines their eligibility for Pell Grants. An applicant's aid report will be shared with the colleges they listed on their FAFSA application.

Finally, students and families can appeal their results if their financial situation has changed.

Denny Sanford makes historic $350 million gift to expand, invigorate National University – The San Diego Union-Tribune

Posted: at 10:45 am


without comments

Philanthropist Denny Sanford made one of the largest gifts in the history of higher education Tuesday, giving $350 million to San Diegos National University to transform the school into a dominant force among institutions that cater to working adults, especially online.

The nearly half-century old university helped pioneer online education and specializes in serving older learners, many who study digitally and at small campuses. But some of Nationals degree programs have received low rankings from U.S. News and World Report.

The school which will be renamed Sanford National University next year is trying to fix the problem and break out of the shadow of competitors who are growing by investing in digital technology, lower-priced classes and compelling marketing.

National, which has about 28,000 students, hopes to at least double (in size) within a few years. How could I not support that?, said Sanford, an 83-year-old billionaire who divides his time between homes in La Jolla and Sioux Falls, S.D.

Adult learners are so in need in education, and theyre often neglected.

National hopes to bolster enrollment, in part, by reducing its annual tuition from $12,000 to $15,000 for full-time students, down to the $7,000 to $10,000 range over time something that will only be possible with Sanfords new gift. About 70-percent of its students take classes online.

The school also will try to triple the size of its annual graduating class to roughly 15,000 over the next three to five years.

We know that affordability and student success are the primary areas we want to focus on, said David Andrews, Nationals president. We have military students that cap out at four courses a year with assistance funding they get from the federal government. We want to cover the rest of their four courses that year.

Well endow, or invest, a good bit of this (gift) to throw off enough return to truly reduce the cost of tuition. Our aspiration is to cut our tuition in half.

Sanford who has a long record of donating to education, health, science and the welfare of children announced his latest gift on Tuesday during a ceremony that attracted some of the countys most influential figures, including philanthropists Irwin Jacobs and Malin Burnham.

The $350 million is the largest individual or family donation ever made in San Diego County, breaking the old record by $75 million. According to its 2016 IRS forms 990, National University had a budget of about $745 million.

The new gift raises Sanfords total public giving in the county to at least $809 million, and it comes less than three months after he donated $100 million to UC San Diego for the study of empathy and compassion.

The $350 million is among the 15 largest donations that have been publicly announced by U.S. colleges and universities since 1967, according to data in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

You dont see institutions (like National) getting nine figure gifts, let alone beyond $100 million, said Maria Di Mento, a donations expert at the Chronicle of Philanthropy in Washington D.C.

The biggest donations have gone to more traditional universities that have expanded into online adult education, creating additional competition for hybrid systems like National, which delivers courses digitally and at about 20 campuses, most which are in California.

National has benefited from a friendship that evolved over the past six years between Sanford and Michael Cunningham, the chancellor of the National University System, which is composed of National and three other small universities.

Sanford, Cunningham and others developed a global education program called Sanford Harmony, which teaches Pre-K to sixth-grade students to treat each other with civility and compassion. Sanford has regularly said that education and children are my biggest priority.

National also helped Sanford develop Sanford Inspire, which improves the skills of school teachers. And the university created the Sanford Institute of Philanthropy, which helps non-profits and their fundraisers to be more effective.

Sanford donated $150 million to these and related programs prior to announcing Tuesdays record $350 million gift, which is unrestricted, giving National the flexibility to invest in many educational initiatives.

Theres no mistaking the schools gratitude. Cunningham keeps a full-size cardboard cutout photo of Sanford in his office.

The new donation raises Sanfords global giving to at least $1.3 billion. Forbes estimates his fortune at $2.6 billion and Sanford said he plans to give away all of his money by the time he dies..

Denny has had such an impact, not only on National University and the system but society at large, Cunningham told the Union-Tribune.

But the path ahead wont be easy. Universities that focus on older, working adults are still trying to prove their worth.

More than a decade after Congress allowed online colleges full access to federal student aid programs, and despite a subsequent explosion in their enrollment, a growing and powerful body of evidence suggests that online learning is far from the hoped-for silver bullet, according to a study released in January by George Mason University and Skidmore College.

Online education has failed to reduce costs and improve outcomes for students. Faculty, academic leaders, the public, and employers continue to perceive online degrees less favorably than traditional degrees.

Cunningham agrees that the courses offered by schools like National have to be more affordable and sharply focused on giving students the skills they need to thrive in the work place.

Sanford has faith in Nationals ability to evolve, saying that the school has proven itself to me over a six-, seven-year period of time, not only with the programs I brought to them but the programs they have developed, which have been very, very successful, particularly those for adult learners.

National has expressed deep gratitude to Sanford, who has lived a rags-to-riches life, building a fortune in the financial services industry, largely by serving customers with bad credit.

He was born in St. Paul, Minn. during the Great Depression to a family that had little money. His mother died of cancer when he was only four. His father operated a clothing warehouse, and put Sanford to work at age eight.

He emerged from a troubled childhood to earn a degree in psychology at the University of Minnesota. Sanford then pursued work as a salesman and eventually earned enough money to buy a bank in South Dakota. He renamed the bank First Premier and was soon lending money to customers who found it hard or impossible to qualify for credit at other banks.

Sanford began making significant private donations in the late 1990s, first by focusing on the care and education of children. He later broadened his interests something that has been apparent in San Diego County, where Sanford has donated money for everything from stem cell research at UC San Diego to improving the San Diego Zoo and revitalizing National.

Denny has had such an impact, not only on National University and the system but society at large, said Cunningham in announcing that Nationals name will be changed next July to more fully reflect Sanfords contributions.

Sanford downplayed the publicity, telling the Union-Tribune, I am not donating to put my name on a building, he said about his latest gift. Ive got my name on a lot of stuff. Im just honored that (National) would consider the university to be named after me.

Prioritizing Education in Arizona – Flagstaff Business & Online News | Northern Arizona Local Newspaper – Flagstaff Business News

Posted: at 10:45 am


without comments

Hello, Northern Arizona! I hope everyone is enjoying their fall! This month, I want to talk about how we talk about education. The Red for Ed movement last year made teacher pay a priority in Arizona, though it still remains one of the lowest in the country. In my meetings with those who work in our schools teachers, but also counselors, aides, specialists Ive seen that the issues in our schools go far beyond teachers. Schools are an entire community within our communities, one where everyone works together to help our children grow and learn.

Investment in education begins early in childhood. Quality pre-K is out of reach for far too many families. Thats why cities around the state (including Flagstaff) are spearheading initiatives to increase access to quality pre-K.

K-12 schools need well-paid teachers, but did you know that 25% of a students success relies on having an effective principal? For this reason, the City of Flagstaff and my office are partnering with a wide variety of institutions to invest in FUSDs principals and their professional development.

When evaluating education, we look at several key indicators, one of which is third grade reading levels. Across Northern Arizona, the majority of our kids are not reading at grade level when they leave third grade. LAUNCH Flagstaff is coordinating efforts to implement a coordinated strategy to improve literacy with a focus on early childhood literacy programs.

These are all promising initiatives but there is so much more to be done. One of the most distressing facts about Arizona schools is that we have both the largest ratio of counselors to students and the highest number of foster kids. Children need support and guidance to succeed. School counselors along with families, teachers and the broader community create an environment where kids can focus on their studies.

Aides and specialists are often not considered teachers, but do vitally important work. Speech therapists, special education experts and countless others make sure that all our kids have the opportunity and the support they need to succeed. These professionals also deserve fair compensation and should be included in debates over teacher pay.

Finally, studies from the Center for the Future of Arizona show us that the majority of young adults will need some sort of additional training after high school, whether that means trade school, community college, a four-year degree, an apprenticeship or the military. Increasing access to post-secondary training and education would help not only our young adults, but entire economies. Yavapai Community College has been instrumental in helping to build the wine industry in the Verde Valley, bringing in millions in investment and industry to a largely rural area. Investing in community colleges throughout the state could support economies that dont have the advantage of a large metropolitan area or a research university.

I have always said that an institutions budget reflects our values. Its one of the reasons I am so proud of the initiatives weve undertaken locallyto support education, families, students and by extension, the entire local economy. Together, we can build the Arizona we want. FBN
