Approximately 1,946
students (of an unduplicated
enrollment number of 2,165), 90%
of the student body were recipients of one or more forms of financial
assistance through the University of Minnesota, Morris during the 2002-2003
fiscal year. The forms of aid
included student employment, loan assistance, and grant and scholarship aid.
The average amount of
financial aid assistance provided per student recipient from UMM during the
2002-2003 fiscal year was $8,052. This includes both need-based and
non-need based financial aid.
Some of the achievements of
the financial aid staff for this past year include:
As part of the U of M
system, UMM continues to implement and upgrade our web-based tools for students
to manage their financial aid information. Our financial aid pages on the UMM web site have been
completely redesigned with significantly more information provided to current
and prospective students.
Most of the communication
regarding information needed and notices of financial aid awards to students
were managed electronically.
Standard financial aid forms
continue to be available on our web site for families to download and print at
their convenience.
Staff will undergo the
opportunity to write a full policy manual. We will also write a comprehensive procedure manual to cover
the steps needed to complete the work we do. This will be a significant undertaking and will require a
great deal of time.
Our communication pieces to
students will be scrutinized and rewritten as needed.
Details about the types of
financial aid received by UMM students during the 2002-2003 fiscal year (summer
of 2003 and the 2002-2003 academic year) appear below.
