投资PAFA教育

The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts has signed and returned the Certification and Agreement to the Department of Education to receive HEERF funds under Section 18004 of the CARES Act. The following is the quarterly report and serves as PAFA’s compliance with Section 18004(e) of the Act. 根据认证和协议, PAFA收到111美元,并根据法案第18004(a)(1)条将100%的资金分配给学生. 本报告于2021年10月7日提出时，PAFA已向71名学生分发了11 082美元. There are approximately 170 eligible students to participate in programs under Section 484 in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and thus eligible to receive Emergency Financial Aid Grants. The Academy sent an email survey to all eligible students that allowed them to self-report any expenses incurred due to COVID-19 that fall under the normal cost of attendance budget categories. 希望维持帮助尽可能多受影响学生的能力, 价格范围在500美元到2美元之间,000年使用, and amounts contained within were awarded based on the figures reported by the student on the survey.

这就是PAFA目前的“令人满意的学术进步政策”.  它取代了PAFA财务事务政策手册中的政策. The Department of Education requires schools to monitor a student's academic progress in order for the student to remain eligible for federal financial aid and to establish a written policy in that regard. Students are expected to meet the standards outlined below in PAFA’s 学术进展满意(SAP) policy. All components of the policy must be met each year in order for a student to remain eligible for federal financial assistance for the following academic year.

学习进度在每个学年的五月结束时进行检查. 未能满足最小完成百分比(尝试vs. completed credit hours) or maintain the minimum GPA will result in the student being placed on academic warning for the next academic year. (Students who have one or more incompletes at the end of the year will be notified in July if they have failed SAP and have been placed on academic warning.) Failure to meet the minimum completion percentage or come up to the minimum GPA by the conclusion of the next academic year will result in the cancellation of all federal financial aid for the following year. 如果有情有可原的情况导致了学生的失败, 他们可在接到通知之日起至多两周内提出上诉. 请参见下面的过程.

Students who are notified that they have failed SAP after the grace period of the next academic year are ineligible for all forms of federal financial aid including:

• 联邦佩尔助学金
• 联邦补充教育机会补助金
• 联邦半工半读的
• 联邦直接加贷款(家长和毕业生)
• 联邦直接补贴和非补贴贷款

Recipients of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) Grant must also follow academic progress guidelines set by the PHEAA. PAFA设计了一个SAP策略，它同时满足联邦和州机构的需求.

SAP不影响PAFA奖学金, 虽然很多奖学金都有GPA和入学要求. 有私人贷款的学生应与贷款方联系，以确定任何学业要求. 学术进展满意(SAP) for financial aid eligibility should not be confused with PAFA’s Academic Standing Policy.  这是两种截然不同的、完全不同的政策.  It is possible to fail to meet minimum standards of one policy and pass the minimum standard of the other. 如果确定您的SAP失败，PAFA将通过电子邮件通知您.

平均绩点要求 

 请注意:优秀奖学金的GPA要求可能与SAP GPA要求不同. 

完成百分比

You must complete the appropriate percent of all courses attempted since the start of your enrollment in your current academic level (undergraduate or graduate). 完成百分比是通过将获得的总小时数除以尝试的总小时数来计算的. It is also important to understand how specific grades and/or course types count toward your completion percentage. 以下毕业生按未完成课程计算:未完成(I)，退修(W). 转学学分和预修学分都被计算为已修课程和已修课程. 所需的完成百分比详见下表.

150%的时间到学位

You may not receive any federal aid if you enroll beyond 150 percent of the published program length without graduating. 例如, if you are enrolled in a four-year program and you do not complete/earn your degree within six years, 你将失去继续接受联邦援助的资格.

If it has been determined that you are failing SAP and there were extenuating circumstances such as a serious illness or death of a parent that prevented you from being successful, 你可以提交上诉请求考虑. Successful appeals can result in reinstatement of financial aid under a financial aid probation status. 如要提交SAP上诉，请填写SAP上诉表格并提交给学生事务主任. Make sure to attach any supporting documentation regarding the circumstances you describe in your appeal. 如果你的上诉被批准或被拒绝，你将会被院长通知. 如果得到批准, 您将被要求在明升体育m88亚洲唯一注册主任的协调下完成SAP学术计划. This Academic plan must be returned to the Dean of Students in order for your financial aid to disburse to your account.

高校理财计划 (CFP) is a standardized financial aid form for all colleges and universities to assist in making aid and cost comparisons for multiple schools simpler and easier to read.  The CFP is provided by the Department of Education and made available to all undergraduate and military students.  一旦你被PAFA录取并获得了经济援助, you will receive an email with a financial aid award letter and a separate email containing your CFP.

The Department of Education has provided a reference guide which contains a summary of each section on your College Financing Plan.

CFP不是预估的PAFA法案, 列出的净费用金额将比你估计的大学费用高得多.  除了估计的直接成本(学费/费用/校园住宿), 它包括其他未由PAFA收费的间接费用.  这些包括校外住宿、餐饮和书籍补贴 & 用品、运输及杂项费用.  这些间接费用的津贴差别很大, 在明升体育m88亚洲唯一的比较中, 你被鼓励比较估计的净直接成本.  This figure can be calculated by subtracting your financial aid (not including federal work study) from your Total Direct Costs.
