Q: Which colleges offer the online CC Promise Grant Application?
Q: Why do some colleges not offer the online CC Promise Grant Application?
Q: Is there a paper application available?
If the signature is entirely new, the model will rely on initial feedback from the colleges to start learning the signatures. As such applications accumulate the model will comprehend these signatures and predict them accurately.
Q: Do students need to be full-time students to be eligible for the CC Promise Grant?
A. You don't have to be a full-time student to receive financial aid. At California community colleges, there is no minimum unit requirement for enrollment fee waivers through the California College Promise Grant.
Nevertheless, students are encouraged to talk with an advisor or counselor, as well as staff in the financial aid office, to help develop an education plan that meets their needs and makes effective use of their financial aid.
Q: How can the colleges help?
The model is designed to be a human-in-the-loop system. Feedback from the colleges is critical for the model to continue to preform well. The colleges can aid the system in the following two ways:
Ensure that all applications in the suspend folder are reviewed and closed. If an application is marked as fraud in the suspend folder, we require a confirmation by the colleges before these applications can be used in subsequent re-training. The larger the suspend folder, the slower the model evolves.
Identifying new fraud signatures in a timely manner. By tagging new fraud quickly, the model will get to learn from them and capture them automatically in subsequent runs.
