Introduction

The Office of Financial Aid at East Tennessee State University provides a broad spectrum of programs to assist students in financing their college education. The university is committed to providing access to students through a variety of resources that includes scholarships, grants, loans and work-study programs.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the federal government's form for applying for financial aid. Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid as early as possible each year. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is generally available January 1 for the upcoming academic year and must be completed each year the student is enrolled in college. The FAFSA provides a comprehensive review of the family's financial status. The results, including the Expected Family Contribution, are generated on the Student Aid Report (SAR), sent to the student, and sent electronically to colleges and universities listed by the student on the FAFSA. Students will find links to other helpful financial aid information at http://www.etsu.edu/finaid/dateslinks/links.htm . A link is also provided to complete the FAFSA electronically.

Tennessee residents with Pell Grant eligibility may qualify for the Tennessee Student Assistance Award (TSAA). This attractive state grant program has limited funding and early completion of the FAFSA is necessary.

Financial aid is a supplement to an applicant's personal resources. Reasonable family contributions are expected. The majority of financial aid awarded at the university is based on the student's financial need. Scholarship funds are awarded based on academic merit or other criteria specified by the donor or organization managing the program. Need is defined by federal formulas and based on a student's estimated cost of attendance less any expected family contribution.

Students should seek scholarship assistance within the university as well as through their communities. High School guidance counselors and the university financial aid counselors can be sources of additional information. Various self-help options may be considered by the student and include both employment and loans. Students are encouraged to consider their ability to repay when they borrow through student loan programs. Students may also want to explore their eligibility for vocational rehabilitation benefits and veterans' benefits.

Financial aid programs, rules, and regulations are subject to change. Federal and state funds are conditional upon congressional appropriations and receipt of those funds at ETSU.

Counselors are available to assist students with any questions or concerns regarding their eligibility. Any applicant who has a concern that cannot be resolved between the student and a financial aid counselor may appeal to the Financial Aid Assistant Director, Client Services. Any concern not resolved between the applicant and the Assistant Director may be appealed to the Director of Financial Aid. The student may appeal to the Vice Provost if none of the previous steps solved the problem.

The "Student Guide" from the United States Department of Education is a helpful source of information regarding the federal financial aid programs. Copies are available from the Office of Financial Aid or directly from the United States Department of Education. The website address is http://www .ed.gov/prog_info/SFA/StudentGuide/ and the phone number is 800-4FED-AID (800-433-3243).

Student Eligibility

Students must meet the following criteria to receive federal funds:

1. Be enrolled at ETSU as a regular student, attending classes, in a degree or certificate program. Special or transient students are not eligible for federal funds. Exceptions to this requirement are for:

a. prerequisite coursework required for enrollment in a degree-seeking program or,
b. coursework required for teacher certification after completion of a previous degree. Aid is limited to a one-time only 12-month period for prerequisite coursework.

2. Be accepted for admission or meet the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy requirements for continuing students before aid eligibility will be determined.

3. Be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen.

4. Males must be registered with the Selective Service.

5. Have a high school diploma or recognized equivalent.

6. Not be in default or owe a refund or repayment of Title IV funds.

Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

Federal regulations require that all student financial aid recipients make satisfactory academic progress toward achieving a degree. Progress is measured by the student's cumulative grade point average and credits earned in relation to those attempted and the length of the academic program. In order to assure that students make progress toward the degree both in terms of number of credits completed and cumulative GPA, East Tennessee State University will utilize the following satisfactory progress policy.

I. Progress Standards
	A. Progress Per Award Year: Students must, as a minimum, receive a satisfactory grade (*) in the courses they attempt fall and spring semesters as outlined below:
	When student receives financial aid based upon fall/spring enrollment of: 24 or more credit hours  18 - 23 credit hours 12 - 17 credit hours 6 - 11 credit hours Less than 6 credit hours  The student must complete satisfactorily, between  fall/spring, a total of: 21 credit hours 15 credit hours 9 credit hours 6 credit hours Complete all credit hours attempted
(*For purposes of financial aid, satisfactory grades are A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, S, SP or P. Unsatisfactory grades are F, W, WF, U or I.) NOTE: Unsatisfactory grades will not be counted as earned credit hours, but will count as attempted credit hours.
	B. Cumulative Progress: Students must, in addition to the above, meet the retention standards of East Tennessee State University as outlined in the current East Tennessee State University Catalog.
	C. Maximum Eligibility: Attempted credit hours: Students who have reached 150 percent of attempted credit hours toward their degree will become ineligible for financial aid.
II. Evaluation Process
	A. A review will be made at the end of the Spring Semester and students who did not make satisfactory academic progress will be notified.
	B. Students who receive all "I", "F", or "W" grades in courses attempted in any semester will be removed from financial aid, until the student has regained financial aid eligibility (see section III).
	C. Repeat courses will be counted in earned credit hours.
	(Note: ALL courses attempted count in total credit hours attempted.)
	D. Transfer courses recognized by ETSU will be counted in attempted and earned credit hours.
	E. Academic Fresh Start students will have their satisfactory academic progress evaluated on work attempted after returning to the University under the Academic Fresh Start policy.
	F. Second degree students will have their satisfactory academic progress calculated from the credit hours attempted beyond the first degree. Additional credit hours for the second degree coursework will be limited to the credit hours required to complete the second degree.
	G. Students classified as "Undergraduate Special" (SPU) may be eligible for federal financial aid; check with your Financial Aid Counselor.
	H. Students classified as "Graduate Non-Degree" (SPG) are only eligible for federal financial aid for up to one year if they are enrolled in classes that are:
		1. Required for a teacher certification program (the loan limit is that of a fifth year undergraduate); or
		2. Necessary as prerequisite courses for enrollment into a graduate program (the loan limit is that of a fifth year undergraduate).
	I. Students may receive aid for no more than 30 attempted credit hours of remedial coursework.
III. Regaining Financial Aid Eligibility
	A. Satisfactory Progress Appeal: Students who fail to meet these standards and lose eligibility for financial aid can appeal that decision to the Financial Aid Office within two weeks of notification. The appeal must be prepared in writing on the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Form, and be accompanied by appropriate supporting documents. Reasons that may be acceptable for the appeal are:
		1. Serious illness or accident on the part of the student
		2. Death, accident, or serious illness in the immediate family
		3. Class cancelled by ETSU
		4. Other extenuating circumstances may be acceptable and will be considered.
	B. Making Up Deficient Credit Hours Without Aid: In the event that the student does not qualify for an appeal, he/she may be eligible to have financial aid reinstated by taking the following actions:
		1. Enroll in and earn the number of deficient credit hours (see chart on page 1 for credit hour requirements) in which aid was received; and
		2. Maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA for the semester average for those credit hours.
		3. Notify the Offfice of Financial Aid when the deficient hours have been earned.
IV. Appeal Limits
	The maximum number of appeals any student may normally have granted is two (2). Under extreme circumstances, a third appeal may be granted, provided that the student has documented proof of the circumstances. In the case of a student who files a third appeal, the reasons for the student's two previous appeals will be reviewed and considered when making a decision. Additionally, the student's progress within the academic program will be a determining factor in third appeals. Federal Financial Aid Application Procedures These steps streamline the financial aid application process for students.
		1. Every year, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1 for the upcoming fall and future semesters. Students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA electronically at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. The ETSU school code, 003487, should be listed on the FAFSA for the University to receive the data electronically.
		2. ETSU will review the student's financial aid record electronically with the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). If the student has attended a previous college, discrepancies will be resolved by requesting a financial aid transcript from the student's previous institution(s).
		3. The Federal Processor sends the Student Aid Report (SAR) to the student in response to completing the FAFSA. ETSU will receive the SAR data electronically when the student lists ETSU on the FAFSA. If ETSU was not listed on the FAFSA, the student should send the SAR to the Office of Financial Aid at ETSU. The student is encouraged to review the SAR for accuracy. If the student is selected for verification, the student must complete the verification worksheet and submit copies of the parent(s)/student/spouse IRS 1040 form to ETSU. The university may also request other information.
		4. Scholarship applications vary according to each program. Students are encouraged to apply early and be observant of each program's individual requirements.
		5. All students borrowing at ETSU from the Federal Perkins or Federal Stafford Loan Programs are required to complete entrance loan counseling. This is mandatory before receiving loan funds for the first time while attending ETSU. Entrance loan counseling must be completed at ETSU regardless if completed at another institution. Entrance and exit loan counseling may be done electronically online at http://mapping-your-future.org/oslc. The student must complete an online form. This form will be sent electronically to the Office of Financial Aid at East Tennessee State University confirming your completion of the required loan counseling session. Contact the Office of Financial Aid if you encounter problems with electronic loan counseling.

Federal Student Financial Aid Programs

East Tennessee State University participates in many federal financial aid programs in an effort to meet students' needs. The FAFSA must be completed before eligibility can be determined.

Federal Pell Grant Program - Eligibility is determined from the Expected Family Contribution on the Student Aid Report, the cost of attendance, and the student's part-time or full-time enrollment each semester. Recipients must be undergraduate students who have not received a previous bachelor's or professional degree. For the 2002-2003 academic year, awards ranged from $200 to $4,000 per year.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) - Awarded to undergraduates with exceptional need. Funding is limited and generally offered only to Pell Grant recipients with the lowest Expected Family Contributions.

Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP) - Employment is awarded to undergraduate and graduate students with financial need. Students are paid minimum wage each month in various positions available on the campus.

Federal Perkins Loan Program - Federally funded loans borrowed from the university at 5 percent interest for both undergraduate and graduate students. Repayment begins nine months after a student ceases at least half-time attendance.

Federal Stafford Loan Program - Stafford loans are awarded based on a student's dependency status, financial need, cost of attendance, and grade level. Both undergraduate and graduate students may borrow in this program. These loans will be subsidized when based on need and the federal government will pay the interest while the student remains enrolled at least half time. Unsubsidized loans are also available based on the student's cost of attendance and other financial aid. These loans require the student to pay or accrue the interest while enrolled, although the principal amount of the loan is deferred. Borrowers begin repaying both subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans six months after the student ceases half-time enrollment. Interest rates will vary but will not exceed 8.25 percent.

Federal PLUS Loan Program (PLUS) - Federal PLUS loans are available to parents of undergraduate students. These variable-rate loans cap at 9 percent. Repayment begins 60 days after the loan is disbursed and continues while the student is enrolled. The maximum repayment period is 10 years.

In keeping with the intent of scholarship support, ETSU reserves the right to limit internally funded scholarships to an amount that does not exceed these direct costs. Scholarships or loan amounts received from sources other than East Tennessee State University shall not be limited nor included in assessment of the funds granted for full scholarship support.

Unless otherwise stated, scholarships are not renewed automatically. Recipients are encouraged to read the information sent with the scholarship announcement or ask the program coordinator for renewal information.
