Return Reference	Explanation
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds.	By institutional policy, TCU's office of scholarship and financial aid acts as the final approval authority for all financial aid eligibility determination. Each student's award package is reviewed to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, and in the case of restricted institutional funds, with the donor's intent and wishes. Academic scholarship eligibility is based on a scoring matrix that evaluates an individual student's success using national test scores, high school GPA, and rigor of curriculum. Those who have excelled academically are generally given the largest share of university funded dollars. Institutionally funded need-based financial aid programs are based on eligibility established by use of an Institutional Methodology, with family financial information submitted to the CSS Profile. The financial aid office also works closely with the donor relations division of university advancement to ensure that our donors' wishes are met when matching funds to students. All donors of endowed awards are provided with a "scholarship agreement" outlining the university's understanding of the donor's intent. These agreements must be approved by both the director of financial aid, and the vice-chancellor for advancement, to ensure that the university has the capability to identify appropriate recipients. In addition to institutionally funded grants and scholarships, TCU manages and accepts fiduciary responsibility for a variety of federal and state funded financial aid programs. Eligibility for all federal and state funded financial aid is based solely on the results of the FAFSA, using required Federal Methodology. Prior to disbursement, each recipient must pass a variety of edit checks, or "disbursement rules" to ensure that the student is enrolled in classes and has submitted all required documentation needed to satisfy program eligibility. After disbursement, student aid recipients are reviewed at the end of the 100% tuition refund period for a final enrollment status determination. Students who received aid based on projected full-time enrollment, but who have dropped below 12 credit hours, are subject to an adjustment of their aid package. At the end of the 25%, and final refund period, students are again reviewed and subject to aid adjustment based on final costs for the term. Aid recipients are monitored on a regular basis throughout the academic year. Files are reviewed weekly to identify updated FAFSA and Profile applications, and adjustments are made when required. Reports are submitted to the Texas higher education coordinating board periodically for review of state aid recipients, and the university is subject to periodic audits and reviews from both entities. Academic success is the ultimate goal of all aid programs, and satisfactory academic progress is reviewed at the end of each term. At a minimum, full-time students are required to complete at least 75% of attempted hours and obtain a 2.00 GPA to meet renewal requirements. Most TCU funded awards require a minimum GPA of 2.50. Academic scholarships require a 3.25 GPA. Once posted to student accounts, the office of student financial services also monitors award amounts in relation to specific charges. Award amounts that appear to be out of norm are referred back to the financial aid office for review.
