More than $5 million
available to students
“There was a time when
financial aid was given by the
dean of men and the dean of
women out of a bottom desk
drawer,” said Walter Freauff,
Acting Director of the Office of
Finacial Aids.
Now there is from $5 to $6
million available to students
through all financial aid
programs and about 10,000
students on campus will come in
contact with one of the financial
aid programs this year, Freauff
said.
The most attractive financial
aid programs are the three
federally funded programs,
according to Freauff. Over twice
the number of students ask for
federal aid as the Office of
Financial Aid has to give, he said.
The Office of Financial Aids
tries to combine different kinds of
aid in packages, according to
Freauff. In order to spread aid
more fairly they try to combine
whatever the student is eligible
for, grants, scholarships, work
study, and loans, into a package
for each student, then the student
can accept whichever part of the
package they wish. This is a way
of keeping the amount of loans a
student will have to pay back
when they get out of school down,
according to Freauff.
The three federal aid programs
offered at the University are
National Defense Student Loans,
which has changed its name to
National Direct Student Loan;
the College Work-Study Program
(CWSP); and the Educational
Opportunity Grant Program.
These three programs make
available a total of $2 million to
University students, Freauff
said.
The National Direct Student
Loan is paid back by the student

after graduation at a 3 per cent
interest rate, while bank loans
carry a 7 per cent interest rate,
Freauff said. Before 1972, there
was a ten per cent can
cellation factor for teaching.
There is no longer the ten per
cent cancellation, except for men
who join the armed services after
graduation and serve in a danger
area and graduates who teach in
deprived areas, according to
Freauff.
“We have not certified anyone
for more than $1200 for a year,”
Freauff said, “this is generally a
student with a family, around
$700 is an average certification.”
Freauff was speaking of the
CWSP. Students receive CWSP
money for education during a
school year and then earn the
money by working a certain
number of hours a week.
“Any federal, state, county or
local agency that is a public
agency and non-profit is eligible
for work-study students,” said
Freauff. “All of the departments
file with us a list of their
requested work-study jobs, then
we ask students who have been
certified to fill out a work ex
perience sheet, then we refer
students to the jobs and we let the
employer choose which he wishes
to hire,” he said.
Students may also work full
time in the summer on work
study programs, Freauff said.
The student is helped to find a job
in his home town that has a
contracted CWSP program and
while the student works there he
must save 80 per cent of his
earnings to offset the cost of his
education the next year if he is
living at home and 60 per cent if
he is living away from home.
The program is guided by
federal regulations, according to
Freauff. “The government has ■
done this to keep summer work
study from becoming a sub
sistance program for students,”
Freauff said.
According to Freauff the
yearly federal awards to the
University are fairly consistant,
with a few thousand added each
year. “All of the federal money
for ‘72-‘73 has been allocated,”
Freauff said, “we’ve honored
applications for students eligible
for these funds applying before
March 1.”
The University also offers a
federally funded Guaranteed
Deferred Payment Student Loan
Program. The Office of Financial
Aid will process $2.5 million
worth of these, Freauff said.
These are bank loans which a
student applies for at the
University, but which are
financed through a student’s
home town bank.
The University also has money
available for short term loans.
About 8,500 students took ad
vantage of short term loans last
year. “At registration you can
get the equivalent of in-state
undergraduate or graduate
tuition,” Freauff said, “after
registration, if you have paid
your fees, you can borrow up to
$100 with three months to pay the
loan back without penalty.”
“The state used to give state
cash awards and state fee
awards, the current state
program still gives state cash
awards based on a combinatjMk
of academic achievement in
school and predicted academic
achievement in college and
financial need,” Freauff said.
“State fee awards are being
phased out, students with these
will keep them until1 they
graduate, then no more will be
awarded,” he said.
“The more aid you dispense to
low income students the more
federal aid available to the in
stitution, the government is
committed through its aid
programs to helping students
from low income groups,”
Freauff said.
“The student interested in aid
for fall ‘73 had best apply for aid
before March 1, 1973. We will put
our application out by Dec. 1. The
time factor is important,”
Freauff said. Students that are
eligible for aid receive aid ac
cording to when they turn their
applications in and when the
money runs out awards stop,
Freauff said.
‘‘The greatest number of
students are patient and un
derstanding, they apply eyk
and do their best to follow^B
structions so they don’t have
problems at registration,”
Freauff said.
