ISAC continues to announce MAP awards until projections indicate that the dollars appropriated will be exhausted by the number of awards already announced for the year. Applications received after this point are placed in award announcement suspension. If it becomes necessary to suspend the processing of award announcements in order to remain within appropriated funding levels, such action is applied concurrently to all students.

Suspension of 2008-09 MAP Award Announcements

Due to current trends in the number of eligible applicants and expected payment claim rates, the anticipated appropriations for the 2008-09 Monetary Award Program (MAP) are fully committed. As a result, ISAC has suspended the announcement of MAP grants for all students whose initial 2008-09 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is received by the Central Processing System (CPS) on or after July 26, 2008.

The status of suspended awards will be evaluated as more information becomes available and, if application volume and claim rates support such action, some suspended awards may be released. Any suspended awards that might be released in the future would remain subject to the 2008-09 MAP priority considerations dates.

Identifying Records in Suspension Status

MAP records in suspension status will be indicated by an Eligibility Code of "S" ("Suspended - indicates student is temporarily suspended from processing due to insufficient funding. Not eligible for payment for any terms.") on MAPnet and in the Eligibility Status File (ESF).

Identifying Student Records and Creating a Report

Schools may want to identify student records placed into suspension for a variety of reasons (i.e., file review, packaging, etc.). MAPnet contains filters that will allow you to identify student records and create a report. Click here for the instructions to run a report of suspended student records using the MAPnet system.
