The scholarships are named after Chevening House in Kent, the official country residence of the Foreign Secretary. They are available in more than 130 countries and around 1000 new Chevening Scholarships are awarded globally each year. Chevening scholarships offer an ideal opportunity for young, high-flying graduates not only to study their chosen subject, but also to meet and network with their peers in the unique learning atmosphere that the UK provides. The ultimate objective is to build a network of friends of the UK, who will be future leaders in their countries. Candidates are selected by the British Embassy/British High Commission. The scheme is managed by the British Council, on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Details at our free college scholarship search site.

Student Financial Aid News Breaking news from MASFAA - in President Obama’s budget for the coming year, he writes: Right now, the subsidies in the Government-guaranteed student loan program are set by the Congress through the political process. That program has not only needlessly cost taxpayers billions of dollars, but has also subjected students to uncertainty because of turmoil in the financial markets. The President’s Budget asks the Congress to end the entitlements for financial institutions that lend to students. The Administration will instead take advantage of low-cost and stable sources of capital so students are ensured access to loans, while providing high-quality services for students by using competitive, private providers to service loans. The approach in the Budget, originating all new loans in the direct lending program, saves more than $4 billion a year that is reinvested in aid to students. The Budget also makes campus-based, low-interest loans more widely available through a new modernized Perkins Loan program, overhauling the inefficient and inequitable current Perkins program. Commentary I disagree strongly that the Family Federal Education Loan Program is wasteful. The two programs, FFEL and Direct, provide families and students with identical loans, but in the private sector, lenders need to compete to keep costs efficient. I’m of the opinion that the Direct Loan program and FFEL should be merged into one - at any school, you can get a Direct Loan from the government, or if you so choose, you can get a federal student loan from a third party lender. This requires the Department of Education to remain competitive and not bloat their program, and requires FFEL to be as honest and reputable as the Department of Education, which has no commercial interest in maximizing profits. If the lending crisis persists, this suggested program also ensures that students will always have access to Department of Education federal loans at any institution. If the lending crisis abates and lenders return to profitability, this will let third party lenders offer discounted loans to students below government rates, as was the case from 2003-2006. In short - keep both programs as one, and let the private sector compete with the government, keeping us both honest and efficient.

Absent that, we require two letters from people personally knowledgeable to the relationship with the parent like a Grandparent, Aunt or Uncle. The letters must be very detailed about the situation and their relationship to the student. Most students make the mistake of having a roommate or employer write a letter that the student is self suffient and pleading for us to just cut them some slack. They don’t realize that Fin Aid reps are personally liable for willfully violating Federal Law. I’ve been in Financial Aid for 12 years and I haven’t met a student yet that is worth going to jail for. There you have it, folks. That’s exactly what you need to know about dependency overrides.

FAP898: Student loan debit cards, CNBC, cheap laptops, free stuff Listen now: Weekly Financial Aid Roundup I was on CNBC this week to talk about financial aid for parents who have lost a job. Given the jobless reports, this is a very timely topic. This is really stupid. From NASFAA: “A controversial program at the City Colleges of Chicago to put student loan refund money on pre-loaded debit cards now has enrolled about 6,300 students from all seven campuses,” Chi-Town Daily News reports. “The cards, provided by JPMorgan Chase, carry high fees for withdrawing money, checking balances and talking with a bank teller. … While it’s usually free to get money from Chase’s 14,000 ATMs, City Colleges students using their Chase debit cards must pay $2 each time. Talking with a teller is $10, something that’s free for all other Chase customers. Even checking account balances on the Chase cards costs $1.25. … [Wright College student senator Christopher Collier] says while the cards are costly, he expects them to become the standard way for students to get their refunds.” Commentary As a rule, I try to avoid badmouthing others, even competitors, but I’ll make an exception here. $1.25 fee just to check your balance? $2 for a withdrawal from an in-network ATM? Betcha get a double hit if you withdraw from a non-Chase ATM. If you get one of these debit cards, withdraw every penny from it in one shot if you can and put it in a regular checking or savings account. Here’s one sponsored by ING Direct that won’t charge you to check your balance. [full disclosure: the Financial Aid Podcast earns a very modest fee that can be measured in pennies for that sponsored link] You’ll also want to check out local community banks and credit unions on campus for checking and savings accounts to put your student loan refund balances into. Personally, I’m a huge fan of credit unions, as they offer the same options as banks do, but typically have lower fees, better savings rates, and terrific personal service. If you need to find a credit union near you, check out www.NCUA.gov. Also this week, tons of FAFSA application volume, far more than last year, as well as no-frills college. Scholarship Update The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) is a 100% federally-funded grant available only during your college freshman year. You must be a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent legal resident, be obtaining your GED or high school diploma, and be seeking a four-year academic degree to be eligible.

Mail Bag Kim writes: I have a question about my taxes and the affect on the FAFSA - Question 85. I was laid off in May and am getting unemployment, so meet the dislocated worker definition. I earned $24,000 in my job, and I also received $16,000 in unemployment. There is no way I can get my AGI below $30,000, but if I take the Hope Credit off the front end, it would lower my AGI to $36,000 however I would lose about $1,200 in refunds. I met with a tax advisor today, but am not sure which way to go. Counting my daughter’s tuition on the front of the 1040 will reduce the AGI, but not below $30,000 to qualify for zero EFC. How much difference will it make to the EFC if my AGI is $32,000, $36,000 or $40,000? With any of those as the AGI, would she qualify for a Pell Grant? Or am I better off to take the tuition as a deduction on the second page of the 1040, and get the refund? Not being a tax expert, what I’d recommend is that you feed the two scenarios into the government’s official FAFSA forecaster. This will give you an estimated EFC based on the FAFSA data you provide and you can then judge if the difference in EFC merits the tax refund loss. My instinctive guess (and it’s a guess) is that the refund is worth more than the EFC change, but try out the forecaster and see what it says. Free Stuff Friday There’s a lot of valuable stuff in this week’s show.
