fisap instructions

The FISAP instructions provide guidance on reporting institutional data and applying for funding, using the online FISAP system, with resources available on the IFAP website for reference purposes always.

Understanding the Purpose of FISAP

The purpose of FISAP is to provide a comprehensive report of a school’s fiscal operations and to apply for participation in the Campus-Based Program for the upcoming award year. The FISAP report includes information on the school’s service, institutional share of Perkins Loan funds, and repayments of excess or liquidated fund capital. The report is used by the Department of Education to determine a school’s eligibility for funding and to monitor compliance with program regulations. The FISAP form and instructions are designed to guide schools in completing the report accurately and efficiently. By understanding the purpose of FISAP, schools can ensure that they are providing the necessary information to participate in the Campus-Based Program and to receive funding for their students. The FISAP report is an essential component of a school’s financial aid operations, and its purpose is to promote transparency and accountability in the use of federal funds.

FISAP Reporting Requirements

Schools must report institutional data and funding information accurately using the FISAP system online always.

Reporting Institutional Share of Perkins Loan Funds

The institutional share of Perkins Loan funds must be reported accurately on the FISAP form, including the amount returned to the school in Part III, Section A, line 30.2. This amount should be added to the cumulative amount previously reported in this field. The repayments of excess or liquidated fund capital to the institution should also be reported by adding the amount repaid to the school in the current year to the cumulative amount previously reported. The FISAP instructions provide guidance on how to report these amounts correctly. The online FISAP system will be used to submit this information, and resources are available on the IFAP website to assist with the reporting process. The FISAP Desk Reference is also available to provide additional guidance on reporting the institutional share of Perkins Loan funds. The reporting requirements are subject to change, so it is essential to review the FISAP instructions carefully.

Office of Management and Budget Approval

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) plays a crucial role in the FISAP process, as it is responsible for approving the FISAP form and instructions. The OMB approval is necessary to ensure that the FISAP meets the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act.

The OMB approval is typically granted for a specific period, during which time the FISAP form and instructions remain in effect. The approval is also subject to renewal, which requires the Department of Education to submit a new request to the OMB. The OMB approval is an important step in the FISAP process, as it ensures that the form and instructions are valid and can be used by institutions to apply for funding. The OMB approval process is carefully managed to ensure timely approval and minimal disruption to the FISAP process.
