2.  IBMC College signed Principles of Excellence executive order 13607 in June 2012  Required to provide Shopping Sheet to all Veterans, Active Duty members, and family members starting with 2013-2014 award year

3.  Academic Year vs. Award Year  Who does ED consider a family member of Veteran or Active Duty member?  How IBMC College identifies students who should receive the Shopping Sheet  Where do we put FSEOG on Shopping Sheet?  What if we don’t know a student’s EFC prior to enrollment?

4.  Shopping Sheet needs to show aid available for the award year  Our award letter shows aid available by academic year (multiple class starts throughout the year)  IBMC College created comments in the comment section of the Shopping Sheet to explain the difference of award year and academic year based on class start date

5.  We felt that the term family member was very vague  We met as a team and determined that the term family member is intended for immediate family members

6.  Added a question to the admissions application asking if the student is a Veteran, Active Duty member, or a family member  Added a query in EdExpress for any students who answered YES to being on Active Duty or being a Veteran on the FAFSA (question 48 & 49)  Contact VA School Certifying Official to find out who is receiving VA or TA benefits

7.  FSEOG is to be included in Grants from your school  Grants from your school is considered campus based aid and Institutional aid

8.  Most of our students don’t complete a FAFSA until after they enroll  We provide a Shopping Sheet to a student as soon as we know the EFC  We recommend students complete a FAFSA before enrolling
