PublicationDate: 4/3/98 Summary: Tip of the Week - Pell Grant Cost of Attendance Field Author: CPS - Central Processing System (CPS) Posted April 3, 1998 TO: All EDExpress Users FROM: CPS Customer Service RE: Tip of the Week - Pell Grant Cost of Attendance Field This week's tip highlighting a specific feature or process in the EDExpress software: Pell Grant Cost of Attendance Field Function/Process: On the last page of the FAFSA tab in EDExpress is a field titled "Pell Grant Cost of Attendance." This field will be populated with a zero unless you define a different default amount via Tools/Setup/App Express/System/Default Cost of Attendance, or manually change the value on the last page of the FAFSA tab. Why you should use it: This field will calculate the estimated Pell Grant award when you print the FAFSA record and select "Show ENAS Calculations." If you do not define a default value in EDExpress setup, or do not manually change the Pell Grant Cost of Attendance field to a value other than zero, the estimated Pell Grant award will display zero while the EFC displayed shows the student to be eligible. If you have any questions, please contact CPS Customer Service at 1-800-330-5947, option 8, or via e-mail at CPS@NCS.COM. |
