Dear Colleague:
We are pleased to announce the availability of an online, self-paced training module that assists with completing the Fiscal Operations Report for 2019–20 and Application to Participate for 2021–22 (FISAP). This FISAP is available on the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) website and must be submitted no later than Nov. 2, 2020 by schools requesting Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) and Federal Work-Study (FWS) program funds for the 2021–22 Award Year and/or that had either FSEOG and FWS expenditures or Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins Loan) activity for the 2019–20 Award Year.
In this training, we review the sections of the FISAP and discuss the most commonly made errors when completing the form. The training is intended for financial aid and business office staff who are responsible for completing the FISAP, especially those who are new to completing the form.
The "Completing the FISAP" training module is available on the Federal Student Aid E-Training website, located at https://fsatraining.ed.gov.
To access the training, log in to Federal Student Aid E-Training with your username and password. After logging in, select “Learning Tracks” from the main menu bar. From the drop-down menu that appears, choose “Campus-Based Programs” followed by "FISAP Training" and then select "Start Here" to launch the course.
Note: If you do not have a username and password for Federal Student Aid E-Training, click on "Create new account" on the login page and follow the instructions to create a username and password.
PDF versions of the current FISAP form and instructions are available on the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) website at https://ifap.ed.gov/fisap-form-and-instructions.
Thank you for your continued interest in and support of our training efforts. If you have questions about this training opportunity, please contact David Bartlett at david.bartlett@ed.gov.
