Sequestration Impact on Financial Aid
Effective March 1, 2013 sequestration of federally budgeted funds occurred. The immediate effect on federal financial aid programs is an increase in the origination fees for any federal loan for the current academic year where the first disbursement of the loan occurs after March 1, 2013. The Stafford Loan origination fee increases from 1.00% to approximately 1.05% and the parent and graduate PLUS Loan origination fee increases from 4.00% to approximately 4.20%. If the first disbursement for the academic year occurred before March 1, 2013, the origination does not increase. There are no other changes to federal aid for the 2012-13 academic year resulting from Sequestration. Information on the impact for the next academic year will be posted when more definite information is available.
