Show Federal Government Offers $122 Million In New Basic Education Grants WASHINGTON - (SPEcontribution and the schools Secretary of the Department of and determination of of the AdminAs will CIAL) part : istrations drive to help every young American attend the college of his choice, the Federal Government has set $122 million dollars for direct grants to needy students. The program, new this year, is called Basic Grants. Through this program the U.S. Office of Education is reaching out to help students attend not only colleges, but also vocational schools, tech-niciinstitutes and hospital schools of nursing. Under the Basic Grants program the money will follow the student to the school of his choice. Traditional college - based student aid programs leave it up to the school to determine a students need for financial aid. Now, through Basic Grants, the Federal government will be determining that need on the basis of a nationally applied formula. About 500,000 students are expected to receive Basic Grants during the first year of the program. Competition foT these new cash customers could cause some shift in college recruiting patterns. During the first year of the program, Basic Grants will be available only to first-tim- e e students. The maximum grant this year will be $450. Sources in Washington indicate the program will be expanded in future years. Caspar W. Weinberger, full-tim- Health, Education, Basic Welfare, has said, Grants mark significant progress towards the Administrations goal of making postsecondary education available to all young people who desire it. Application blanks aTe available at post offices, state employment offices, and from county agricultural agents. In addition, many local schools and colleges have applications, and are ready to help students fill them out. Deadline for filing applications for school year is the 1973-7- 4 January 31, 1974. The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has enlisted the aid of community service groups across the nation to spread the word that $122 million is waiting for students in the governments coffers. All they have to do is apply for the Basic Grants. Once an application is processed through a computer, the applicant receives a determination of expected family contribution. The student then submits this determination to the school of his choice. There the student financial aid officer will figure the tuition, fees and other expenses of the student and compare these costs with the expected family contribution to determine the size of the Basic Grant. Both the expected family expenses follow to guidelines applied nationwide. It doesnt matter where the student is from; the only criterion is need. Basic Grants wont be the students only reason for seeing the financial aid officer at the chosen school. With the of Veterexception of 50 ans Administration education benefits and all of Social Security education benefits, a student can add all other available financial aid to the Basic Grant amount without reducing its size. So, while a Basic Grant wont pay all of a students costs, it can provide a sound platform for almost all other financial aid. Stated in simple terms: a family of four with an annual income of $8,000 would be expected to contribute $626 to the student for the first years education. This expected contribution will drop if a family has more than one student in postsecondary education, and there are a number of other variables. Based on a table prepared by the U.S. Office of Education, a student with an expected family contribution of $626 and attending a school with costs between $1,100 and $1,250 can expect a Basic Grant of $219. That may not seem like a lot of money, but it is a grant free and clear; not a loan the student would have to repay.
