Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education; Office of Federal Student Aid Pass through Entity: Not applicable Program Name: Federal Work Study ALN and Program Expenditures: 84.033 ($-0-) Award Number: P033A243421 Federal Award Year: July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 Questioned Costs: N/A Condition Found: The University did not award Federal Work Study funds during the 24-25 academic year. However, the FISAP reports that students participating in the Federal Work Study Program earned $26,232. An administrative allowance of $1,312 was also claimed. Total Federal Work Study funds per the FISAP totaled $27,544. Criteria: The amounts claimed as federal expenditures on the FISAP should agree with the institutions records. Cause: The person responsible for completing the FISAP was unaware that the University did not participate in the Federal Work Study Program for the 24-25 award. Possible Asserted Effect: The FISAP reporting was incorrect. In addition, the University claimed an administrative allowance, that the institution was not eligible to receive. As of June 30, 2025, the funds had not been requested from G5. This was a FISAP reporting error. Repeat Finding: There was not a similar finding in the prior year. Recommendation: All sections of the FISAP should be completed accurately. The University should have supporting documentation for the numbers and amounts reported on the FISAP. Management Response: Management will work with the third-party servicer to ensure the figures and amounts reported on the FISAP are accurate. An independent review of the FISAP will be completed by the CFO before the FISAP is filed.
