The student had already received all of his SFA di s b u r s e - ments, consisting of: Subsidized Stafford Loan $1 , 2 7 3 Pell Grant $1 , 0 0 0 Tot a l $2 , 2 7 3

Ch a r ges on his account included: Tuition and Fees $4375 Room and board $2 4 0 0 Other fees $ 250 Total Charge s $7 0 2 5

The percentage of the semester completed is 27%. Applying this percentage to the total amount of SFAfunds disbursed yields the amount of Title IV funds earned by the student ($2,273 x 27% = $613.71). Subtracting this amount from the total amount of Title IV funds disbursed yields the amount of Title IV funds to be returned ($2,273 - $613.71 = $1,659.29). The amount of funds to be returned by the school and the amount to be returned by the student is then calculated. In this case, the school is responsible for returning the entire $1,659.29. Based on federal guidelines, the Stafford Loan amount would first be returned in full ($1,273) to the lender and the remainder would be returned to the Pell Grant Program ($ 3 8 6 . 2 9 ) . The student account would not be credited for any tuition or room charges because the withdrawal date is past the first three weeks of the semester. The student account would be credited for the 12 unused weeks of the semester for meals at the rate of $30 per week (12 x $30 = $360). As a result of the above, the student had unpaid charges of $6,081.29 which must be paid to the University. 30 • FINANCIALAID INFORMATION Financial Aid Information The Financial Aid Office coordinates and administers the Each financial aid recipient is provided an Award Letter, which financial aid programs for the University.
