I should eventually like SLM to have a component whereby we can text as well as emailing from SLM.

Appreciate your comments.

We did have a similar situation where a student left mid semester due to illness. The college refused to return any monies - I thought they should have at least pro rated the funds. Student did return the next semester and there was no ramifications to him.

Hi Robin, I am actually interested in your scholarship that would help apprenticeships. Can you tell me a little bit about it? Deirdre McLoughlin

We have a scholarship that is for adult learners or non traditional students who are not interested in a four year degree. ($5000) suitable for people wanting to be cosmetologists, truck drivers, dental or medical assistants, technicians, linemen or women, auto mechanics etc. This was a very difficult group to find and I…

Yes and we are awarding a significant more than other presenters. We shall continue to do it as we have been doing so unless I hear a reason not to do so. Thank you for your comments.

Thank you for your comment. I see that most do not announce the amount. I will think on this some more.

Michelle your idea of such a late deadline is wonderful. Any one else doing the processing so late?

We also have a fair number of DACA students. Actually I do have an issue with the AGI. I have a generous scholarship fund for an economically…

We also have a formula for those scholarship unique to each student's circumstance. For those, we do wait until we get their financial aid award letter. Cost of attendance minus (EFC + Grants + Scholarships + Loans) = Actual need. Good luck Deirdre McLoughlin

Let me put that one on my to think about list. Thank you

I am in the middle path, denials emailed and award letters mailed but after your comments I may review. Is there really another Deirdre out there? Deirdre McLoughlin Western Colorado Community Foundation

To determine financial need - we take into account four different factors and we rank then, total and come up with a number between 1 and 5 - 5 has great financial need and 1 has little or no financial need. The financial need is ranked by staff and the committee reviewers will only see a single number as the financial…

We ask for FAFSA (EFC), extenuating circumstances and the parent's AGI - then we rank this information and we get a number #1-5 which becomes their ranking number. we do keep an eye out on any thing that might be relevant to the extenuating circumstances which sometimes come up in an essay.
