ISAC Student Portal2024-25 Monetary Award Program (MAP) Mid-Year Recompute Implemented in GAP Access
12/24/2024
As of Monday, December 23, 2024, a 4% reduction factor has been applied to the 2024-25 Monetary Award Program (MAP) maximum annual award amount and implemented in the MAP system in the GAP Access portal. The maximum amount that a student can be eligible for with the reduction factor applied is an annual award of $8,064.
This mid-year recompute, while it is applicable to the full annual award that a student is eligible for, is only impacting second and third term eligibility amounts.
The award amounts displaying in the MAP system continue to show the original maximum eligible amount for the fall term, which was not impacted by the reduction factor. To account for the reduction that was not applied to the fall term, a higher percentage was used to reduce original second and third term eligibility amounts as follows:
- For semester schools, the maximum eligible amounts for the spring term were reduced by 8%; and
- For quarter schools, the maximum eligible amounts for second and third quarters were reduced by 6%.
Maximum eligible amounts provided for students are based on full-time enrollment of 15 credit hours, and the actual amount a student can be paid will be adjusted based on the number of hours in which the student is enrolled.
Colleges may now use the award amount information in the MAP system to notify students of changes to their award amounts for the second and third terms. Information about school requirements regarding award notifications and general information that can be provided to students about the reduction (available as an HTML page or printable PDF) can be found in the MAP section of the FAA area at isac.org.
Payment processing for the spring term/second quarter is expected to begin the week of December 30. Watch for an upcoming e-Message with specific details.
