In an effort to keep you informed as we begin to implement the operational components of the Monetary Award Program Plus (MAP Plus), we'd like to share with you the most current information available regarding upcoming activities for schools. The following are estimated dates for the first steps necessary to implement MAP Plus and could change due to unforeseen circumstances. We will, of course, continue to keep you informed as we move forward.
- Week of September 11th - An online view in MAPnet is activated to display all students meeting general eligibility criteria.
- Early October - Payment processing in MAPnet is made available for colleges to begin to submit claims/payment requests. Claims will be accepted, but held until payment results can be provided. It's possible funds could be available for fall term by the end of 2006 or early 2007.
Information about MAP Plus has been posted to the FAA Zone under ISAC Gift Assistance Programs. A July 18th letter - sent in the form of an e-Message to Financial Aid Directors from ISAC's Chairman McNeil - is available in the e-Library, as are the proposed rules for the program. A MAP Plus Q&A document is being developed, and will be posted at collegezone.com shortly. As always, make sure to check collegezone.com on a regular basis and watch for further e-Message correspondence for additional details of MAP Plus implementation.
