Loan cuts mean less aid
By COLLEEN CACY Staff Reporter
An almost 50 percent slash this year in KU's National Direct Student Loan money will mean that students may have to pay for more of their education out of their own pockets, Jerry Rogers, president of Student Financial Aid, said Friday.
Funds allocated to the NDSL program, under which students borrow money from the federal government through their schools, were cut nationally this year by more than one-third, from $286 million to $186 million. KU received only $185,000, down from $229,000 last year.
"THIS WILL definitely limit its use." Rogers said of the reduction.
Both student grant and loan programs have been affected by governmental budget cutting, and the companies bring more cutbacks, Rogers said.
"It's looking pretty lean," he said.
It's booking pretty soon, he said.
The Pell Grant Program (formerly the Basic Educational Grant Program) has also been cut, he said. Each
recipient this year received $80 less, and the maximum award was lowered from $100 to $75.
Through the Guaranteed Student Loan Program, students may borrow up to $2,500 a year from a bank or savings and loan association. Since Oct. 1, 1981 applicants have had to file a family financial statement in an attempt to discover which students need financial assistance the most.
Students whose family income is greater than $30,000 must undergo a financial needs test, which takes into account family income, the student's education and the cost of the student's education and each family's special circumstances.
ROGERS SAID he could not predict how many students would no longer be eligible for the loans. He said that before the Oct. 1 deadline his office had received about 7,000 applications, but about 200 to 300 have been received.
Social Security payments to students whose father or mother has died or is retired or disabled are being gradually released. School students must be enrolled as full school students.
time college students by next May to qualify for the program, and current payments will decrease by 25 percent each year until they are eliminated.
Rogers also predicted more srictly enforced checking of financial statements submitted by students applying for aid.
He said his office was not required to validate financial data for a random 10 percent of Pell Grant applications. He said because of suspicious figures on household members and family income, verification may be required for other aid programs such as Guaranteed Student Loans.
"The government is tired of getting ringer off." he said.
A check of students' financial figures, by obtaining a certified copy of income tax returns, would create a substantial increase in administration and would result in delays in students receiving their checks, Rogers said.
He said this was a big problem for patients receiving Social Security payments.
"Some students have almost had to drop out of school because of the long wait on validation," Rogers said.
