  3. TAP… into the Future

  4. Overview • Processing Update • 2010 Budget • Remedial Students • Grants and Scholarships Modernization Strategy

  5. 2010-11 Processing Update

  6. Processing Update 2010-2011 • Applications • Over 515,000 processed as of September 1, 2010 • ETA 1% • Renewal Process 22% • FAFSA Direct 46% • Anytime TOTW 31%

  7. Communications • As of September 1, 2010, HESC sent out more than 2.25 million communications to students for the 2010-11 academic year • 99% via e-mail

  8. 2010-11 Budget Changes

  9. 2010-11 TAP: New York State Budget and Regulatory Update • All annual TAP awards are reduced by $75 • Private pension and annuity amounts excluded from New York State income tax are included in the calculation of income used for determining TAP award eligibility • The maximum award for students, other than a student who is in a nursing program, on Schedules D and E attending degree-granting or registered not-for-profit business schools qualified for tax exemption under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code for federal income tax purposes that offer only 2 year programs is $4,000 or the actual tuition charged, whichever is less

  10. 2010-11 TAP: New York State Budget and Regulatory Update • A new award schedule with a maximum New York income less than $40,000 and a maximum award of the lesser of $3,025 or the actual tuition charged is established for independent students who are married with no tax dependents • TAP awards are not available to graduate students • Students in default on any state or federal student loan are not eligible for TAP or any other New York State financial aid program • New academic standards have been established for non-remedial students first receiving state aid in 2007-08 and thereafter

  11. Remedial Students and SAP • Regulations Relating to New Standards of Academic Progress for TAP for the 2010-2011 Academic Year

  12. Remedial Students and SAP • Intent • To ensure students receiving TAP and not needing remedial instruction or a small amount of remedial instruction demonstrate sufficient academic progress to complete their programs in a timely manner

  13. Remedial Students and SAP • Returning students who “fall in the gap” between the 2006 and 2010 SAP, will be deemed remedial students for the 2010-2011 academic year only and will continue to be eligible for TAP while progressing to the level of academic performance necessary for the new SAP standards for the 2011-2012 academic year

  14. Where We Are & Where We Are Going…

  15. Express TAP Application (ETA) • HESC ceased automatically mailing paper applications with 2010-11 academic year • Prior to 2010-11, HESC printed and mailed ETAs to students whose ISIR was selected based on NYS residency, choice of NYS schools, etc. • Of these applications, only 25% were actually returned and processed • Considerations: • Waste of resources • Privacy issues • Costly

  16. New Process: ETA by Request • No automatic printing and mailing of ETAs • ETA printed only upon request by student or school: • Student can call HESC or request online • School can request ETA to be sent using Request TAP Form link (previously used to request duplicates) • School will continue to have the on-site print function under Reports/Standard Reports

  17. New Process: ETA by Request • Same prefilled application based on FAFSA data! • Instead of creating the file to get a paper application 2-3 weeks after ISIR selection, the print function will be available 1 or 2 days after ISIR selection

  18. Proposed Application Deadline Change for 2010-2011 • New regulation makes TAP application deadline the same as FAFSA deadline: June 30 • Commences with the 2010-2011 academic year

  19. Where We Are… Multiple Scholarship Processing

  20. Multiple Scholarship Processing Currently: • HESC’s core TAP System (mainframe) can only process one scholarship for each student for any given year • New scholarships necessitated the development of more useful tools to expedite processing

  21. Multiple Scholarship Processing Currently: • Most scholarships and TAP awards are processed on the core TAP system • Some programs, such as Memorial programs, cannot be correctly calculated due to field size limitations • These are calculated, put on rosters and certified using the Consolidated Scholarship Roster (CSR) system with expanded field sizes

  22. Multiple Scholarship Processing Currently: • When the student holds 2 scholarships e.g., the Scholarship for Academic Excellence (SAE) and NYS Lottery’s Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship (LOT) • LOT is paid on the core TAP system • SAE on the CSR • All Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarships are paid on the CSR

  23. Multiple Scholarship Processing Currently: • Completely parallel processing • CSR rosters and RAs are paper • TAP rosters and RAs are electronic • Both rosters and RAs produced at same time according to TAP processing schedule on HESC.org • CSR = paper printed from HESC Standard Reports • Mainframe = web or electronic files

  24. Multiple Scholarship Processing Currently: • Web inquiry of CSR and TAP core processing is now available in View Student Record
