Annual The annual award is the maximum amount (from the appropriate

award Payment or Disbursement Schedule) a student would receive during a full


academic year for a given enrollment status, EFC, and COA. Note that for
a full-time student, the annual award will be the same as the Scheduled
Award.

Award year The award year begins on July 1 of one year and ends on June 30 of the
next year.

1998-99 AWARD YEAR:

1998

January 1 July 1 December 31

1999

January 1 June 30 December 31

As already noted, a student cannot be paid more than one Scheduled


Award for an award year. The regulations provide that students may
receive up to a second Scheduled Award during a single award year if the
Department determines that sufficient funds are available. There is no
funding for payment of a second Scheduled Award for 1998-99; therefore,
students will not be able to receive more than one Scheduled Award for
the 1998-99 award year.

Academic The academic year is used to measure the amount of coursework the
year student will complete during the award year. The school must define the
academic year for each program of study; once it has defined the academic
year for that program, it must use that definition for all SFA purposes. A
school’s defined academic year must contain at least 30 weeks of
instructional time; within the weeks of the academic year, a full-time
student must be expected to complete at least 24 semester or trimester
hours or 36 quarter hours at a school measuring program length in credit
hours, or at least 900 clock hours at a school measuring program length in
clock hours. The General Provisions regulations provide a definition of
academic year and allow schools to apply for a waiver of the 30 week
minimum. (See Chapter 3, Section 1 for more information on the definition
of academic year.)
