Packaging Pell Grants Using Pell Table Enablement Tables

Beginning with Aid Year 2016 (Award Year 2015-2016), you can select the Use Pell Table feature in FA Installation and import the Department of Education's published Federal Pell Grant (Regular and Alternate) Payment and Disbursement Schedules directly into your system to evaluate Pell awards.

If the annual schedules have not been published for the future year (for example, Aid Year 2017), and you attempt to package a student’s Pell Grant for that year, the system uses the current year's (Aid Year 2016) schedules to make the 2017 award. If the student is eligible, the system returns a non-zero Pell award with an estimated award message (9244 or 9249) depending on whether the Pell award was made using the Regular or Alternate Schedules.

Use the delivered queries QA_CS_FA_PELL_SCHEDULE_REGULAR and QA_CS_FA_PELL_SCHED_ALTERNATE to render contents of the Pell Award (PTE) tables. Query results are not in spreadsheet formats.

Note:

To calculate Pell grants for Aid Years 2016 and 2017 (Award Years 2015-2016 and 2016-2017), Oracle supports both the current Pell Program FAPPKPEL delivered as a Critical Update, and the new Pell Table Enablement feature (FAPPKPTE).

Beginning with Aid Year 2018 (2017-2018), Oracle plans to discontinue the old Pell Program (FAPPKPEL) and support only the Pell Table Enablement program to calculate Pell grants.
