Summary: September 29, 2006 Deadline for Submitting FISAP

Posted on 09-05-2006

We want to remind schools of the upcoming deadline for submitting the Fiscal Operations Report for 2005-2006 and the Application to Participate for 2007-2008 (FISAP) for the Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins Loan), Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and Federal Work-Study (FWS) programs. As announced in the "Notice of the 2006-2007 Award Year Deadline Dates for the Campus-Based Programs," published in the Federal Register on March 27, 2006 (71 FR 15180), the date by which a school must submit this FISAP is Friday, September 29, 2006. This is a change to the October 1st deadline date because October 1st falls on a Sunday this year.

All schools that wish to request funding under the campus-based programs for the 2007-2008 Award Year, and all schools that had campus-based expenditures for the 2005-2006 Award Year, are required to electronically submit a FISAP via the eCampus-Based (eCB) Web site. The eCB Web site allows a school to complete and submit its FISAP online, receive real-time validation edits, and access prior-year data to assist in completing the FISAP. For information about accessing the FISAP on the eCB Web site, refer to Dear Colleague Letter CB-06-08.

The deadline for electronic submission of the FISAP is 11:59 P.M. (ET) on September 29, 2006. Transmissions must be completed and accepted by 12:00 midnight.

For additional information about the FISAP, contact the Campus-Based Call Center at 877/801-7168. Customer service representatives are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. until 8:00 P.M. (ET). You may also email CBFOB@ed.gov .
