good if the private school has established its nonprofit state with the Internal Revenue Service, and if the school is providing primary or secondary education in accordance with state law


I am finding numbers that are different this year, so is that because of updated data?


Did you want to know why the totals reported last year are different from the numbers reported now about last year?


yes


There could be several causes for this, including the possibility that your institution is listed more than once in the data using alternate variations of the school's name or city.


Did you want more information?


The different numbers only cover a relatively small number of applicants


why does it show so few fafsa applicants for my school?


One reason your rates may be lower than expected is because your school could be listed more than once and actual applicants could be spread among the name variations.


how should I search for my school?


You should consider alternate names that may be used


does anything affect the total data for applicants from a state?


Any analysis must also consider the impact of withholding the totals or names of schools with fewer than five completed applications


I'm trying to collect as much information as i can about Fry scholarships, Can you tell me something?


With pleasure. Let me ask you something. Have you chose school yet?


No, i had not do that, i was searching for info first.


Understood. Then you have not applied for these benefits yet?


Well, you saying that like this, i think i would be interested, yeah.


Excellent. All you need to do is going online and fill out a VA Form 22-5490 or Dependents Application for VA Education Benefits. After you fill that form out, you'll have to send it to the regional benefit office where in theory you would want to go to school.


Oh, in that school choosing, it has anything to do with it, the fact that the child parent was serving and died on duty on 2009?


Certainly, it does. That fact, opens the possibility for the child to use both Fry scholarships and the dependent educational assistance. The down side would be that the child may use only one of the programs at a time.


Right, i guess is for the better that way. Getting all over the school choosing, is there any tool i can use? An app, website, guide?


In that regard, please make use of the GI Bill comparison tool. This application will be useful at the moment you want to pick up a school.Little reminder: Remember to contact the school's certifying official so he or she can assure you that the program you choose gets approved for VA benefits.


And what should be done in case someone has already started its education? i'm asking because i remembered that a relative has this situation but wants to get benefits.


If that so, that person must ask the certifying official from that school to fill out a VA Form 22-1999 or VA Enrollment Certification, who'll submit it after.


I need some help understanding the Standard Repayment Plan.


The Standard Repayment Plan is a basic repayment plan where payments are fixed and made for no longer than 10 years.


Would you like to know more about this plan?


Yes, that would be very helpful.


The Standard Repayment Plan gives you the benefit of paying off your loans in a shorter amount of time, so that you pay the least amount of interest on your loan.


What does applying for an income-driven repayment plan allow me to do?


Completing the application allows you to select an income-driven repayment plan by name or  request that your loan servicer determine what plan you qualify for. The loan servicer would then place you on the plan with the lowest monthly payment.


All right, regarding eligible federal loans, for the repayment plan, are the loans that are subsidized by the Direct Loan Program eligible?


Yes, they are.


Another payment-related query. Would I be eligible for a discount if I signed up for debit withdrawal of my payments?


Yes, you would receive .25% interest rate deduction on Direct Loans and you should contact your loan servicer for more information.


Could you tell me if the standard repayment plan may have a higher monthly payments than my current loan payments?


Yes, you will see a slight increase in your monthly payments. However, this allows you to pay off your loan faster.


How else can a Standard Repayment Plan benefit me?


As I've mentioned before, your payments will be slightly higher, but you end up paying less interest. This will allow you to save money in the long run.


How does the plan work with consolidation loans?


For eligible consolidation loans, the length of your repayment period would depend on the amount of your total education loan indebtedness. This includes your consolidation loan and any other student loan debt you may have.
