Requests for G.I. loans down
Fewer University of Kansas veterans are applying for loans available under the federal G.I. Bill this semester than last, according to Steve Neske, the campus representative for the Veterans' Administration.
The loans, which can amount to as much as $800, are part of a federal G.I. Bill that was passed in late 1974. Neske said yesterday that about 100 loan applications had been processed since January, but fewer people had applied this semester.
- a veteran or a dependent of a veteran.
- drawing veterans' assistance money. Applicants who have exhausted their eligibility for the G.I. Bill aren't eligible for the loans.
Neske said he didn't know why more of the 1,200 students on campus didn't applied for the loans. The funds are easy to obtain, Neske said, and only a small amount of paperwork is required. He said more people knew how to apply to loans one they knew, they were available.
Neeske said three requirements had to be met before a loan could be obtained. The
—able to show he expects more expenses than income during the period the loan will be used. The loan can't exceed the difference between the expenses and income.
Nekse said a veteran could receive up to $300 for a period covering one semester, $200 for two semesters and $400 for the summer car, which includes the summer session.
"It has been taken approximately five to six weeks from the time the applicants step foot in the door to the time they receive the checks," Neake said.
The loan program is modeled after the guaranteed student loan program, he said, and the only difference between the two is the guaranteed student loan has an interested rate of seven per cent and the guaranteed loan has an eight per cent interest rate.
Neske said the loans became due nine months after the borrower was graduated, became less than a half-time student or exhausted his eligibility for the G.I. Bill. The borrower then has ten years to repay the loan. he said.
Other increases have been made in veterans' benefits, including an increase in the G.I. Bill educational payments, Neske said, and an increase in the amount a qualified veteran can receive to a tutor. Inquiries about veterans' benefits and information about the loan program could be obtained from him at 301 Carruth.
Veterans also can obtain assistance from the Office of Veterans' Services in 188 Strong. James R. Henry, director, said the office was created last summer.
Henry said the old office had a half-time coordinator of veterans' services who also served as an advisor to the student organization, Campus Veterans.
Henry said the new office, established within the Office of Admissions and
Records, primarily would be concerned with certifying students for the G.I. Bill and coordinating the veterans' activities on campus.
Henry said that Neske would be
responsible for distributing information concerning veterans' benefits and that he hoped Neske could be given office space in the future of Veterans' Services in the future.
