2022-001 - Student Financial Aid Cluster - (a) Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (b) Federal Work Study Program (c) Federal Perkins Loan Program - Federal Capital Contributions (d) Federal Pell Grant Program (e) federal Direct Student Loans, Assistance Listing No. (a)84.007 (b)84.033 (c)84.038 (d) 84.063 (e)84.268 - Year Ended June 30, 2022. Criteria: 34 CFR 690.62 states, "The amount of the student's Pell Grant for an academic year is based upon the payment and disbursement schedules published by the Secretary for each award year. Condition: We tested 40 files, 18 of which were Pell Grant recipients, and 2 students did not receive the full amount of their allowed Pell grants. The students were eligible for $65,480 but received $64,930. Cause: For one student, this condition was caused by using the 20-21 Pell Award Chart for a 21-22 Pell Award. For the other student, this condition was caused by using the College's institutional EFC instead of the student's EFC noted on their FAFSa. Effect: The result is one student did not receive $150 of eligible Pell monies and the other student did not receive $400 of eligible Pell monies. We consider this condition to be an instance of noncompliance relating to the Eligibility compliance requirement. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections. Questioned Costs: $0. Cause and Effect: Without proper review of eligibility of financial aid, students may receive an incorrect amount of Title IV aid. Students should receive the proper amount of aid. Recommendation: We recommend the University evaluate policies and procedures to ensure students receive the proper amount of Title IV aid. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with this Single Audit Finding and response is included in the Corrective Action Plan. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table.
