<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A">HI Mat,
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A">I understand that this question is about capacity building. How are we using the 100% funds to increase the number of students in BFET? However, since not all of the colleges
provide tuition support through BFET, we may be using the 100% funds to support existing BFET students so that they are able to continue to completion. In other words, it doesn’t increase capacity of enrollment, but increases the chance that a student completes
their educational program. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A">Furthermore, when I submitted my BFET grant application, I took into account ALL BFET students that I thought we could serve. This number was partially based on prior year enrollment
when we did not have to show increased capacity for 100% funds. Had I known this was to be asked, I would not have included everyone on my original target.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A">If I come up with a random number of additional students that I think it will serve, I worry about the consequences. 1. If I asked for $30k in tuition and I indicate that I will
use if for 10 additional students, they may come back and say that doesn’t add up. 2. If I say that I will serve 50 additional students, but I don’t, they will say that we didn’t meet our target.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A">In addition, 100% funds is not just for direct student support (tuition). We need to use it to pay for the 2<sup>nd</sup> BFET conference of the year for example; how does that
increase the number of students that we serve? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A">If the policy around 100% funds has changed and it can now only be used for additional students, not for current students, then we should have been informed of that prior to our
request. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A">Please advise because at this point I don’t feel comfortable completing the survey.
