Notice to prospective “host” institutions:

If you are interested in participating in a consortium agreement with Texas A&M University-Texarkana

(A&M-Texarkana), please contact the Financial Aid Office at (903) 334-6601.

Student Information:

Under this individual financial aid consortium agreement (IFACA), both new and continuing students

admitted to any of the Texas Title IV eligible postsecondary institutions participating in this agreement

may receive federal and state aid (privately funded institutional scholarships are excluded) from his/her

“home” institution based on the combined credit hours in which the student is enrolled in each term at

both institutions. To activate an IFACA, the student must:

 Contact the Student Financial Aid Office at A&M-Texarkana to confirm that there is an existing

agreement between the two institutions.

 Download and complete the IFACA form.

 Obtain the appropriate signature from the “host” institution.

 Obtain a copy of the registration form confirming enrollment, tuition and fees, and room and

board costs from the “host” institution.

 Submit the completed IFACA form with enrollment documentation to the Financial Aid office at

A&M-Texarkana.

 By initiating this IFACA, you are requesting the Financial Aid Office at A&M-Texarkana to act

as your “home” institution in this consortium agreement and disburse financial aid to you based

on your enrollment at A&M-Texarkana and the “host” institution during the same term.

 You must read and understand the conditions listed below in order to initiate this agreement. If

you have any questions, please contact us before entering into this agreement. Failure to

understand does not relieve you from your stated responsibilities.

You must be degree/certificate seeking and credit taken under this agreement must be applicable to your

degree/certificate.

Tuition and fees will be based on the courses for which students register. Withdrawals and refunds will be

handled by the institution that received the tuition and fees in accordance with its policies.

Student data for financial aid will be shared between institutions via the A&M-Texarkana Financial Aid

office and partner institution Financial Aid Office. Compliance information and end-of-term information

will be shared between Financial Aid Offices at each institution, preferably electronically and on a

scheduled basis.
