Finding 2025-002 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Financial Assistance Listing: 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268 Finding Summary: In testing of 60 students, 1 student was identified who was not awarded the correct amount of Pell. Corrective Action Plan: The corrective action for the Pell Grant eligibility issue involved promptly adjusting the affected student's Pell Grant to the correct amount, which resulted in an increase and ensured there was no negative impact. To address the root cause, the Director of Financial Aid met with the financial aid team to review the finding and clarified federal regulations on Pell Grant calculations, referencing the 2024-25 FSA Handbook. Importantly, the Director committed to upgrading the internal Pell Grant calculator used by Financial Aid Advisers: this enhancement will add a flagging mechanism that automatically alerts advisers whenever a student's calculated Pell Grant amount falls below the published minimum Pell amount for that award year, thereby ensuring that no student unintentionally receives an ineligible or reduced Pell Grant due to a calculation oversight.
