Budget
- Use 2003-04 reported tuition and mandatory fees assessed at 100 percent at all institutions.
- Use one living allowance for all applicants, set to $4,875.
Resources
- Use 80 percent of Pell Grant eligibility as determined by the 2003-04 Federal Pell Grant Payment Schedule, which contains a $4,050 maximum.
- Calculate the ISAC adjusted Expected Family Contribution (EFC) by inflating the Federal EFC.
Adjusted Dependent Students' Parent Contribution:
Adjustment Factor = [PC/11,000 + 1.10] rounded to two decimal places
Adjusted PC = PC x Adjustment Factor
Adjusted Independent Student Contribution:
Adjustment Factor = [EFC/11,000 + 1.10] rounded to two decimal places
Adjusted EFC = EFC x Adjustment Factor
3. Use a minimum self-help expectation of $1,800 for all
students.
Annual Award Amounts
- Set the maximum award equal to the lesser of $4,968 or the tuition and mandatory fees specified in the budget.
- Set the minimum award to $300, and round maximum eligibility in $150 increments to calculate partial awards.
- Provide no award for applicants who have an EFC equal to or greater than 9,000.
- Reduce all awards by 9 percent.
- Students who have used 75 or more MAP Paid Credit Hours must be a junior or senior to be eligible for MAP. Students who have used 135 or more MAP Paid Credit Hours are not eligible for MAP.
