Indiana will sell redeemable time
BLOOMINGTON. Ind — Parents who want to make an investment in their children's future can buy a few dozen credit hours at Indiana University — if they're quick.
The Associated Press
The university is selling - at today's tuition rates - 450,000 credit hours that can be redeemed between 1990 and 2010. Similar programs are being tried in other states.
The Guaranteed Tuition Certificates, worth about $30 million, go on sale Monday at 400 bank offices across the state, and one banker predicts the credit hours will be sold out within three months.
"We think it's going to be very popular," said Ward Roth, executive vice president of Bank One in Indianapolis. The bank received 225 calls about the plan Monday, the day before university officials formally announced the offer.
Thomas Ehrlich, university president, said the certificates will not guarantee admission.
"What it does guarantee is the ability to finance the tuition cost, assuming one is admitted five, 10, 15 or 20 years from now." Ehrlich said.
Tuition on the Bloomington campus now costs about $2,000 a year.

"Don't get so uptight," the man said. "A after a few belts in the morning, 'I testify against anybody.'

Which is why Apple created the Student Loan to Own Program. An ingenious loan program that makes buying a Macintosh as easy as using one.
Persuading them to write the check, however, is another thing altogether.
Simply pick up an application at the location listed below, or call 800-831-LOAN. All your parents need to do is fill it out, sign it.
and send it. If they qualify, they'll receive a check for you in just a few weeks. There's no collateral. No need to prove financial hardship. No application fee.
*Offer open only to full-time KU students
Best of all, the loan payments can be spread over as many as 10 years. Which gives you and your parents plenty of time to decide just who pays for it all
