Student Loan Related Services
The Arkansas Student Loan Authority (ASLA) is a state government agency established in 1977 to en-
hance access to higher education funding. The agency is funded with revenues generated from federal
student loan servicing contracts, administration of the agency’s federal student loan portfolio and con-
tracts to provide Default Management Services to Arkansas higher education institutions.

STUDENT LOAN HELP FOR ARKANSAS

ASLA partners with the Arkansas Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (AASFAA) to
manage Student Loan help for Arkansas. Student Loan Help was launched in April 2011 to help
student loan borrowers successfully navigate their way through the federal student loan
repayment system and to make a positive impact on the student loan default rate in Arkansas.

Customized, Personalized Assistance
MOHELA uses a high-touch approach to educate student loan borrowers and help borrowers with transactions throughout
the life of their loan. This includes helping borrowers while they are in school, as they enter grace and prepare to enter
repayment, during repayment and as they pay off their loans. When borrowers are unable to afford their monthly payments,
our Student Loan Counselors use a comprehensive call flow to explore options for lowering and postponing payments.

For example, when income-driven repayment plans are determined to be one of the best options for the borrower, a
Counselor will prefill the repayment plan request and send the application to the borrower to sign and return with income
documentation. Borrowers can choose
to have their prefilled application
delivered to their web account or via
mail. We have found that borrowers                          C C ustomustomer

Missouri Family Education Loan Program (MOFELP)

MOFELP is an interest free, fee free loan available to help students who may not have the financial resources but have the
academic potential to succeed in higher education. MOFELP is filling the gap many Missouri students face when they receive their
student award letters. More than $4.8 million in loans were disbursed in fiscal year 2018 and the program has nearly doubled in
size each year since its inception.

Director’s Choice Grant Program

This program is a valued tool for Missouri financial aid directors. Financial aid directors sometimes have students facing emergency
situations – sometimes a small award can make a big impact for students facing an urgent situation. This program is intended to
help those students stay in school through a difficult time and persist to graduation.

Approximately $138,000 in small, emergency grants were funded in fiscal year 2017 and $158,825 in fiscal year 2018 to Missouri
students attending Missouri public four-year institutions, community colleges and the State Technical College of Missouri.

Additionally, data was collected to measure the effectiveness of this grant program. Since the beginning of the program in 2012,
82 percent of students who received this emergency grant were either still in school or had graduated. This information reinforces
and supports that these awards are making a positive impact for Missouri students.

Purdy Emerging Leaders Scholarship

This program, named in honor of Allan Walker Purdy, is intended to provide
merit-based scholarships to Missouri’s emerging leaders who are outstanding
students and have a need for additional resources for higher education. This
scholarship supports candidates who demonstrate academic merit, strong
leadership potential and exceptional character.

Additionally, these students have a vision, are eager to make their
contribution to the world and have the work ethic to bring their dreams to
fruition. The selection process includes a review of the candidate’s community
involvement, cumulative GPA, leadership achievements, values and reference
commentaries, among other criteria.

In the 2017-2018 academic year, there were approximately $347,040 in
scholarships, and those are renewable for up to three years.

   $17.2 million in loans have been disbursed since
                       MOFELP began in 2014

       $500,000 in Director’s Choice Grants have been
                      funded since 2015

              $887,040 Purdy Emerging Leaders Scholarships have
                           been awarded since the scholarship
                           began in 2016
