Subject: Webinar Recordings - Year-Round Pell Grant Webinar for Term-Based Schools and Year-Round Pell Grant Webinar for Clock-Hour/Non-Term Schools

Summary: This letter announces the availability of Federal Student Aid’s recording of the training session on implementation of the year-round Pell Grant provision. One session is for term-based schools and the other session is for clock-hour/non-term schools.

Dear Colleague:

We are pleased to announce the availability of the recorded version of our online, instructor-led training on implementation of the year-round Federal Pell Grant (Pell Grant) provision. The Higher Education Opportunity Act (the HEOA), Pub. L. 110-315, enacted on August 14, 2008, authorizes schools to disburse up to two Pell Grants in a single award year, beginning with the 2009-2010 Award Year, for Pell-eligible students. Final regulations related to this change to the Pell Grant Program were published in the Federal Register on October 29, 2009. The focus of this training is implementation of the year-round Pell Grant provision for the 2009-2010 Award Year, including Summer 2010, and subsequent award years. It is intended for all schools that participate in the Pell Grant Program.

Federal Student Aid staff presented this information in one 90-minute session in late March 2010, with one version of the training designed for term-based schools and the other version designed for clock-hour/non-term schools.

No registration is required to view the recorded training sessions.
