US State Government Aid The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to apply for most state loan, grant and scholarship programs, in addition to the federal loans and grants. When you submit the FAFSA to the US Department of Education, they forward the information on the form to the state student assistance agency. Each state has a different FAFSA submission deadline. If you submit your FAFSA by March 1, you will be in time for all state deadlines, other than Michigan. If you miss the deadline, you will be ineligible to receive state aid for the entire academic year. Procedures for applying for state prepaid tuition programs and the national guard differ from state to state. The amount of information provided on the state web sites varies from state to states. Some states provide comprehensive information about residency requirements, loan, grant, scholarship and prepaid tuition programs and other state aid programs. Others provide minimal information. We recommend visiting the sites for both your state of residence and for the states of the colleges to which you are applying. A B C D ...

The IEP is a contract between you and the school. As with any contract you should make sure you fully understand the terms to which you are agreeing and make certain that everything that was agreed to verbally is written in the contract.

What is the Training and Development Consortium? TDC Competency Development Project The TDC is beginning work to draft a set of "competencies" for SEA/LEA project managers. Described by professional literature as "a cluster of related knowledge, attitudes, and skills that affects a major part of one's job, role, or responsibility," comptencies correlate with performance on a job and can be measured against standards. For the TDC, it is important to note that competencies can be improved through training and development. Once developed, competencies would enable SEA/LEA (HIV/CSHP) project managers to: better understand the competencies needed for carrying out project tasks within the agency better understand staff professional development needs select appropriate professional development activities utilize professional development activities for continuous improvement In addition, competencies could be used by: TDC members to collect information on the needs of SEA/LEA staff attending TDC events TDC members to develop and tailor TDC events to meet the developmental needs of SEA/LEA staff attending them CDC project officers to discuss professional development selections and outcomes with SEA/LEA managers Over the coming months, the TDC will engage in a process that will result in the development of draft competencies to be piloted in the Summer/Fall 2001. As part of this process, a 15-member working group, composed of LEA and SEA managers and TDC members, will convene in February. This group will develop a draft document that will be sent to a broader audience for review.
