Stanford School Has New Student Loan Program inSTANFORD (ACCN)-- An novative loan plan offering longeducational loans term, low-cowith graduated repayments pegged to projected growth in a borrower's earning power, will become available to Stanford Business School students in September.

The ten-yeplan not only doubles the repayment period, but puts the payments on a graduated schedule so that installments are lowest as the borrower enters the job market and increase annually at 'a rate approximating expected growth in earning power. Studies indicate borrowing against future income is realistic for graduates of the school. The average starting salary for last years class was $15,000, and followup studies have shown the school's graduates typically doubling their salaries five years after graduation. An unusual feature of the plan permits a borrower to defer whatever portion of the repayments exceeds eight percent of income in a given year. The deferred payments would be carried two years past the loans term. Payments still outstanding after the additional two years could then be forgiven. The provision, limited to those with gross income of less than $16,000, is intended to prevent debt overload for those who enter lower paying career fields. Borrowers will pay annual interest of 7 per cent for five-yeloans and Vk per cent for ten-yeloans, the rate to be adjusted quarterly based on the actual cost to the school to borrow money. The total includes a charge of 1 per cent or 1 per cent for five and ten-yeloans, respectively, to cover losses in case the borrower dies or is totally disabled and to pay a portion of administrative costs. ar ten-ye- ar 7 Air conditioner-closi- ng draper- ies, blinds or curtains to keep out direct sunlight can cut heat coming into your house by 50 percent, substantially reducing your air conditioners workload. 8 . ar ar ar Financial aid records show that 40 per cent of the students currently borrow from the school to pay their educational costs, the total amount borrowed averaging $5,000 over the two years of study. i Clothes dryer you can save drying time by taking clothes out while they are slightly damp and just right for U ironing.
