What I've Learned
From this module, I gained a deeper understanding of how Title IV governs federal student aid and how it impacts educational institutions' responsibilities. I also learned how VAWA contributes to creating safer environments by enforcing institutional policies against gender-based violence and promoting awareness.
Application
Title IV: I will apply this knowledge by ensuring that educational institutions adhere to Title IV regulations, helping students navigate financial aid processes, and understanding the consequences of non-compliance. Whether advising students or working within a higher education institution, I will prioritize transparency and accuracy in dealing with federal financial aid.
VAWA: I will use the knowledge from VAWA to contribute to creating safer educational and community spaces by promoting awareness, encouraging proactive measures to prevent gender-based violence, and supporting victims with proper resources and legal protections. In my role, I would ensure compliance with VAWA's requirements regarding reporting, policy development, and providing prevention programs to students and staff.
