FINDING 2025-006 – Federal Direct Loan Eligibility Program Name: Federal Direct Student Loan Program ALN and Program Expenditures: 84.268 ($866,312) Award Number: P268K253315 Federal Award Year: July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 Questioned Costs: $484, net Condition Found: The amount of subsidized Federal Direct Loans awarded was incorrect for four of the ten students in our sample that received Federal Direct Loans. In addition, the two of the students was eligible for additional Federal Direct Loan funds. Corrective Action Plan: For the first student, the student was eligible to receive $5,500 of subsidized funds, but only $4,500 was requested. The University gave the student an additional $1,000 of institutional funds to cover the difference in the amount the student was eligible to receive and the amount requested from the Department of Education in December 2025. For the second student, the COD correctly shows the that $5,500 of subsidized aid was disbursed to the student. However, only $4,500 of subsidized loan funds were posted to the student’s account. An institutional scholarship of $1,000 was posted to the student account in December 2025. For the third student, $484 of subsidized loan funds were returned to the Department of Education in December 2025. For the fourth student, the Director of Financial Aid will work with third party administrator to reclassify the subsidized loan funds as unsubsidized loan funds. Anticipated Completion Date: The University anticipates the corrective action being completed by March 31, 2026. Contact Person: Brad Burnett, Director of Financial Aid 405-912-9000
