Financial Aid | Investment In Financial Education Leads To College Access And Success
In July 2010, the U.S. Department of Education developed an education initiative designed to challenge states to create and implement a financial literacy program in troubled school districts. The program is designed to better prepare students to apply for Federal Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) by awarding money to needy school districts for financial literacy education.
Out of 14 initial applications, Tennessee schools scored the highest and will be rewarded with grant funding over the next four years. Through the funding received from The Financial Education for College Access and Success Program, Tennessee will be able to prepare educators to better assist students in financial-aid decisions and multiple other aspects of decision making in the pursuit of higher education.
Pursuing post-secondary education, whether at a ground school or online university, is often confusing. The U.S. Department of Education hopes the program will provide students with the information they need about the college enrollment process and the importance and availability of financial help.
In a U.S. Department of Education press release, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said, “the United States has the best colleges and universities in the world, but we’re not doing the best job of preparing our students to be college or career-ready. Investing in financial literacy through programs like Financial Education for College Access and Success will ensure that teachers have the tools and resources they need to help students make informed decisions about pursuing and paying for college, and planning for the future.”

SAP is “satisfactory academic progress”
The basic premise is that students receiving financial aid are supposed to be making some reasonable progress toward earning a degree in a reasonable amount of time.
Go to this web page: and scroll to the bottom for the PDF file for the college catalog. Page 25 addresses SAP.
The bottom line is that you can lose your financial aid for the next semester if you don't make SAP. Anyone not making SAP will be contacted by the financial aid office. If you're not sure, contact Financial Aid directly yourself.
Good luck!

oh but they do exist. believe you me, i have spoken to the legendary oompa loompa. but before that was possible, i had to journey through the forest of fuhreekinassredtape. and then i had a spell put on me that made me sleep for 3 hours. and then i finally woke up to the voice of the oompa loompa. …the financial aid office is terribly understaffed, and there are millions of students who want to talk to them regarding their financial aid. there's a line at the financial aid office everyday. that's just life. waiting waiting waiting.
