The abundance of money available through the KU office of financial aid this fall resulted in more and larger scholarships than ever before, the director of financial aid said yesterday. But many
But even so, there is not enough money.
"We're out of money," Jerry Rogers said. "The money we do have left is in special, geographical scholarships, but our family receives aid from each of those."

THE INCREASE was distributed between the different departments of the University, and the exact amount of increase was not known vet. he said.
Billie J. Burge, director of financial aid at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said that office had about $50,000 left in National Direct Student funds but said the money probably would be used before the end of the year.
Burge said the Med Center had received an increase in the funds it had available to students. But many students who were eligible last year for Kansas Medical Scholarships were not eligible this year because of stricter guidelines, and they received the increased funds.

Most scholarships were claimed, he said, but some people were not interested in other forms of aid, such as work study funds.
Rogers said some scholarship money went unclaimed every year. This year, most of the 249 people who did not respond to financial aid offers were freshmen who decided not to attend KU. he said.
