Purpose: Complete discussion concerning the FISAP Part VI income grid expansion/changes.

Date: 8/21/12

Time: 10:00 AM E.T.

Conference Call

1. Discussion was held concerning the current breakout of the FISAP Part VI income grid – why it is in “odd” increments. It was 

explained that the income grid in this part of the FISAP is directly related to the Income Grid in Part II of the FISAP. The Part II 

income grid specifically collects data based on the statutory funding formula. It was agreed and understood that the current

income grid in Part VI should not be changed as it would render all previous comparison data unusable. It was also agreed that 

the income grid in Part VI could be expanded by 10K increments above $60K for Undergraduate Dependents to include $70K, 

$80K, $90K and $100K+; and 5K increments above $20K for Undergraduate Independents to include$25K, $30K, $35K, and 

$40K+.

The chart on page 2 indicates the current state of the FISAP, the agreed upon changes during the 8/21/12 meeting, and 

includes a third column that suggests we overlooked that in order to keep with a true$ 5K increment above $20K in the section

concerning Undergraduate Independents, we should change the $20K= to $20K – 24,999 and make the next increment $25K –

29,999.

Please respond with your concurrence or corrections to column 3 (see page 2 below) by cob (5:00 pm) on Friday August 24, 

2012. These changes will become effective to the FISAP Part VI income grid in the eCB Release 14.0 FISAP in July 2013.

2. Additionally we briefly discussed and agreed that the statutory end of the Perkins Program will be handled outside 

of the FISAP. The link to the current Perkins Liquidation and Assignment procedures on IFAP as well as the current 

Campus-Based Procedures manual chapter were provided with the notes of the last meeting (notes dated 8/17/12).

Thank you everyone! This was a very productive meeting that allows us to begin requirements with the eCB contractor 

and advise schools and vendors of the upcoming change in a timely manner.
