4. What funds from within the requesting unit are being allocated towards this effort? We Currently Don't Have Any Funds Directed Towards This Specific Coaching Effort. We Are Using Are Current Funds To Staff As Many Financial Aid Counselors As The Budget Permits (5 Counselors In Ellensburg Campus, 1 West-Side Counselor). 5. Does the requesting unit have external revenue* or internal reimbursement streams? Yes If so: a) Where does it come from? We Are Funded One Counselor Position By The Summer Revenue Stream. We Receive Some Administrative Allowance From The US Department Of Education And Washington Student Achievement Council, The Combined Funds Are Not Enough To Pay For One Counselor. b) What efforts have been made to increase the requesting unit’s revenue generation? We Don't Charge Students For Our Services And Therefore Don't Have Any Efforts To Increase Revenue. c) How much of the unit’s external revenue or internal reimbursement will be devoted towards this effort? None, The Funds Are Currently Used To Maintain The Staff We Already Have In Place. *External revenue is generated from products/sales to persons/entities external to the Central community. 6. Did any of the units within the requestor’s division have carry-forward last year? What efforts have been made to reallocate these funds towards this effort? The Other Units Funds Are Being Used To Meet The Their Staffing Needs. Funding The Coaching Positions Would Create A Positive Connection Between Our Students And Financial Aid. We Currently Don't The Resources To Fund An Outreach Position Due To The Processing That Is Required And This Creates A Frustration With Our Process Because The Students Want To Know The Status But Our Staff Is Processing And Not Able To Immediately Reply To Their Emails And Phone Calls. The Frustration Leads To Students Dropping Out, Stressing Over The Finances And Not Being Able To Concentrate In Class And The Outcome Is A Negative Impact On Enrollment And Retention. The Coach Will Not Be Processing Applicants And Therefore Their Main Objective Would Be To Reach Out To Students Who Need Help Completing Steps In The Financial Aid Process. The More We Are Able To Communicate Effectively With Students And Education Them On Financial Aid, The Better They Are Able To Understand The Process. 7. How will this allocation affect CWU faculty, staff and students? How will it impact recruitment and retention?
