Pell Grant LEU• Lifetime Eligibility Used

– The amount of Federal Pell Grant funds a student may receive is limited to the equivalent of six years of Pell Grant funding

– Since the maximum amount of Pell Grant funding a student can receive each year is equal to 100%, the six-year equivalent is 600%

8

Pell Grant LEU• Calculated by COD and provided to NSLDS

• One time “catch up” file provided in July from COD for award year 1973-74 and forward

• All subsequent changes will be sent to NSLDS by COD

11

NSLDS Aggregate Questions

NSLDS Aggregate Calculation Process

16

Components of Recent Loans

Pending Disbursement Amount = Net Loan Amount – Disbursement Amount

Loan Status (“in school”)

Loan Period End Date + 90 Days has not passed

Greater of: Disbursement

Amount or OPB

17

Components of Older LoansLoan Status

Loan Period End Date + 90

days have passed

Lesser of: Disbursement Amount, OPB, or Net Loan

Amount

18

Aggregate OPB

Recent Aggregate Concerns

• Capitalized Interest – Considered, but not counted, when

balance is greater than total disbursed– If borrower pays down the loan, NSLDS

calculation does not differentiate OPB from the capitalized interest

– School can determine appropriateness of awarding additional loan amount

Recent Aggregate Concerns

• D5 Unsubsidized Consolidation Loans– Included Grad PLUS and Parent PLUS loans

causing inaccurate unsubsidized aggregates– NSLDS adjusted the calculation to exclude loans

paid by consolidation underlying Grad PLUS (D3, GB) loans and Parent PLUS (D4, PL) loans

– Post-screening records will indicate the update
