I have currently completed 7th grade and I got a letter in the mail about TIP( Tuition Incentive Program) and I am not sure what it means. Can someone tell me what this means?

[@collettelezama5259]

I'm sure you know by now, but it is for Duke TIP. You must get really good grades or are in the gifted program at your school as an exceptional/enhanced student. This is worth doing if you can. It is through Duke University. Congrats.

[@claudiadelosreyes367]

Por favor fafsa alguien q me ayude soy mama de un estudiante y estoy muy preocupada porq no he podido dar la firma de concentimiento para mi hijo y se nos acaba el tiempo de verdad necesito ayuda

[@TheRevenant4585]

Do I have to already be a student to fill out this form? I simply wish to know if I’m eligible for financial aid. I don’t want to sign up for anything without knowing that first, but it doesn’t ask if you’re trying to enroll as a student in the first question, it just asks if you’re a “student”, “a parent”, or “someone trying to help a student make an account.”

[@jeffchristensen8339]

I used to be a financial aid counselor at a few universities. You don't need to be enrolled at a college to fill out the form, and after filling it out they will estimate your grant and loan eligibility, but you won't get an actual offer until you've been accepted at a college, because its each individual financial aid office at the college that will determine your edibility based on what the FAFSA calculates and costs associated with their university. I know, its kinda confusing!

[@TheRevenant4585]

@@jeffchristensen8339 It’s a lot, but your explanation helped me to understand it a bit better. Thank you!

Okay the IRS system is totally responsible for breakdowns over discussions of payments in any type of crisis situations because of the business system situations the answers to adjustments in contract deals dealing with disasters like government shutdown issues because of missing misteaks in shutdowns process and report responsibility to safety issues because of better controlled effects in support
