The Most Bighearted Office On The Campus
If you think the biggest group of borrowers on campus are roommates, the Office of Aids and Awards has a surprise for you.
The most frequent borrowers, at least of money, are veterans, often hard pressed by family obligations and delayed GI checks.
"The vast majority of loans are for short terms, repayable within 60 days," commented Spencer E. Martin, director of aids and awards. "Veterans are the most frequent short term borrowers and graduate students borrow more long term loans than any other group."
"People who borrow money from a student loan fund intend to pay it back. The fact that out of 2,112 loans totalling $203,288 last year, only $600 is considered uncollectable, which backs this up, I believe," Mr. Martin said.
More Loans This Year "There will probably be more loans granted this year than last year," he continued. "There are several reasons, such as increased enrollment, shortage of part time jobs that can be fit into students' schedules, and more married students who may have a tough time of it. Then the drought has affected our business like everyone else's."
To be eligible for a short term loan a person must be enrolled in the University and give three references. For an in-state student the maximum value of a short term loan is $150. The interest rate is usually 2½ per cent from the date of the loan.
Students eligible for a long term loan are those who have been enrolled at least one semester at the University and have a "C" grade average or better. They require three references and a co-signer. The length of the loan is determined by the needs and circumstances of the borrower. The amount generally can not exceed $300 for any one loan.
Besides the loans, students may apply for scholarships and fellowships.
Total Fund Awarded
Total Fund Awarded
"Last year the total amount of money available for scholarships and fellowships was $310,000, all of which was awarded to students," Mr. Martin said. "From this amount 643 undergraduates and 125 graduate students received help. Out of 720 applications from prospective freshmen, 400/were awarded scholarships."
Money for scholarships and fellowships comes from endowment income, gifts and grants specifically designated, and general University funds.
By some it is considered ironical that so many fires occur during Fire Prevention week. Not at all, the fires that happen during Fire Prevention week are the ones that weren't prevented the week before Fire Prevention week.
