DIVISION III FINANCIAL AID REVIEW TASK FORCE

 

Summary of Recommendations

 

ITEM OF INFORMATION

ISSUE:

Division III Financial Aid Reporting Process.

Task Force Action:

 

The task force discussed the method for the financial aid reporting process by teleconference August 15, 2003. The task force determined that a pre-pilot, consisting of approximately 26 institutions that reflect the demographics of the Division III membership, would be conducted between October 15 and November 15, 2003. The fundamental principal behind the pre-pilot is to determine whether student-athletes and nonstudent-athletes are receiving equitable financial aid packages. The task force intends to review the pre-pilot findings at its December meeting and will provide its findings at the 2004 NCAA Convention.

 

Management Council Action:

 

Accepted the information, noting that the institutional burden will be shifted to the NCAA for the pre-pilot. The amended format will require use of institutional reporting processes to submit information. The Council noted its appreciation to the pre-pilot institutions:
