SLL 13-21 established the Saipan municipal higher education financial assistance and placed the program within the Office of the Mayor of Saipan for administrative purposes. Deemed a supplementary municipal financial assistance, eligibility is restricted to qualified residents of Saipan, including the Northern Islands, who are pursuing post-secondary education in U.S. accredited institutions of higher learning on Saipan or abroad. The specific restriction on Saipan residency Foreword reflects the intent of Saipan Local Law 13-21 as amended by Saipan Local Law 14-13. This seminal municipal assistance for Saipan residents in college received a supplemental appropriation in Saipan Local Law 14-11 and Saipan Local Law 14-9. The restriction on eligibility is also restated in the SHEFA rules and regulations, including the provision on residency referenced in Public Law 12-18. Accordingly, this inaugural report comports with the specific requirements of Saipan Local Law 13- 21. Section 5(m) of the local Act mandates an annual report to include, but not limited to SHEFA policies, financial reports, recipients information and data, identification of institutions of higher learning or technical institutes and other pertinent information and data. This Accountability Report, therefore, incorporates data and information on the first year of implementation of SHEFA, which includes information on the disbursement of financial assistance in the Fall 2004 and Spring 2005, among others. The day following the effective date of the Saipan municipal scholarship, Mayor Juan Borja Tudela appointed the members of the municipal Board of SHEFA. The Mayor’s swift action on his appointment expedited the implementation of the municipal scholarship program, leading to the inaugural Fall 2004 award on September 2004 and the Spring 2005 award in early January of 2005. This report also includes student and financial information and data for the Spring 2005 3.5 GPA performance scholarship approved by the SHEFA board on March 23, 2005. The Mayor’s timely action on the SHEFA governance culminated in the grand opening of the SHEFA office in Garapan on January 28, 2005, due in large measure to the Saipan Mayor’s positive working partnership with the Commonwealth Development Authority (CDA) and the Northern Marianas Housing Corporation (NMHC). Mayor Tudela’s unprecedented accomplishment in working with the Saipan & Northern Islands Legislative Delegation (SNILD); having Governor Babauta signed the municipal scholarship into law; appointing the members of the SHEFA board and working with SNILD on their confirmation; assisting the board in the promulgation of the SHEFA rules and regulations through the Office of the Attorney General; working with the Secretary of the Department of Finance in setting up the SHEFA accounts; and providing the needed logistical support to the SHEFA board in receiving applications and awarding students in the Fall 2004 and Spring 2005, all reflect the Mayor’s leadership 5 in higher education on Saipan. The Mayor’s efforts also speak volumes of his dedication to college students from Saipan at home and abroad. The Mayor’s enthusiastic endorsement of the Saipan Higher Education Financial Assistance (SHEFA) initiative and his diligent and tireless lobbying with the Saipan and Northern Islands Legislative Delegation, including Governor Babauta, resulted in the timely implementation of the new Saipan municipal scholarship fund, and it is for this reason SHEFA’s inaugural Accountability Report is dedicated to Saipan Mayor Juan Borja Tudela.

The first section is a profile of students based on information and data submitted to the Saipan Higher Education Financial Assistance T(SHEFA) within the Office of the Mayor of Saipan. This section highlights both the number of applications received and the actual number of awards provided to bona fide residents of Saipan and the Northern Islands. The progress report covers the events leading up to and including the first awards for the Fall 2004 and Spring 2005 academic terms. The types of financial assistance awards for Fall 2004 and Spring 2005 are limited to grant-in-aid, priority field of study and 3.5 GPA. Still to be implemented are the need-based scholarship, career prep voucher, need- based loan, demand loan and merit loan. Implementation of these remaining Executive SHEFA assistance depends on the availability and stability of funding sourced from the fees collected from poker licenses on Saipan. Moreover, the student profile also provides information and data on the status of students in college as undergraduate, graduate and advanced standing pursuing post-secondary education on Saipan and abroad, including statistics on projected year of graduation from college; field of study; choice of career; place of study; reasons for award ineligibility; status on memorandum of agreement as completers and non-completers; college course-taking pattern; precinct designation and village cluster. Of the 351 students who submitted applications to SHEFA in the Fall 2004 and Spring 2005 academic terms, only 306 initially qualified for financial assistance: 186 in the Fall term and 120 in the Spring term. Reasons for non-qualification include lack of supporting document(s) to low GPA. Based on the number of applicants who initially qualified for financial assistance, the financial assistance for the Fall 2004 term amounted to $444,400, slightly less for the Spring 2005 term at $312,100, for a sum total of $756,500 for the two academic terms. The per pupil revenue for the Fall on-island recipients amounted to $2,009.57 and $2,777.17 for Fall off-island awardees. The Spring per pupil revenue, on the other hand, is pegged at $2,127.27 for on-island awardees and $3,048.44 for off-island recipients. The average combined per pupil revenue for Fall and Spring recipients topped at $2490.61. Undergraduate applicants topped at 336; 15 were on graduate status and two (2) in advanced standing. The number of students attending college on-island is fewer by 11 compared to those in school abroad at 149 and 156 respectively. Of the 306 recipients, only 295 have submitted original signed memorandum of agreement, a contract essentially between SHEFA and the recipient that obligates contractually all recipients to provide services on Saipan within 90 days of graduation from college or institutions of learning beyond high school in the private sector, non-profit organizations, the government or as entrepreneurs. In the field of study category, education majors remained a major of choice, seconded by business with liberal arts majors trailing behind.

  • Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for the Island of Saipan, CNMI
    Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment For the Island of Saipan, CNMI January 2014 Saipan Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment | i About This Document The Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for the island of Saipan is the product of a year-long collaboration between the CNMI Division of Coastal Resources Management and the participating agencies and organizations of the CNMI Climate Change Working Group. Ongoing support for the Vulnerability Assessment and Climate Change Working Group was provided by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and contributions to the assessment stem from a wide range of federal and CNMI government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community groups. Additional technical resources, tools, and expertise were leveraged from organizations throughout the Insular Pacific and beyond. The cumulative result of this diverse input is a project that meshes a community-based assessment and local knowledge with technical analysis and inquiry. This document presents the Vulnerability Assessment by highlighting its findings, as well as the process and information used to arrive at conclusions and recommendations. It is as much a framework for a mixed-methods assessment process as it is community narrative and practical study. Document Usage and Limitations This document is intended as an initial screening tool for prioritization of climate adaptation work on the island of Saipan. Usage of the Vulnerability Assessment should be limited to broad planning and policy purposes. Analysis of specific resources and geographic areas was conducted under potential future scenarios, which introduces inherent uncertainties and complicates field verification. As such, the findings, recommendations, and data within this document are not appropriate for application to site-specific engineering or other projects involving alterations to the physical landscape.

The program is open to college students and graduates. Individuals interested in attending should contact the Clerk of the Supreme Court, Judy T. Aldan, by sending an email to [email protected].
