BOG money available *‘As soon as the dust raised by registration settles,” every freshman with a parental income of $15,000 a year or less will be encouraged to apply for a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, said Walter Freauff, director of financial aid. The new program, more popularly knows as the BOG Program, is sponsored by the Office of Education and is designed to assist eligible students planning to enter colleges, universities, com munity colleges, approved vocational and technical schools, and hospital schools of nursing. “Until the program is fully funded, only first-time, full-time students for the 1973-74 school year are eligible to apply.” Freauff said. “When the program receives full federal funding, all undergraduates will be eligible. “Under the BOG system, eiigibillity is difficult to deter mine,” he continued “Every freshman, resident and non resident, currently on financial aid or whose parents’ incomes do not exceed $15,000 will be urged to apply. It doesn’t cost anything to do so, and the student owes it to himself, even if the grant is small. “Freshmen have until Feb. 1, 1974 to apply for a BOG grant for this year,” Freauff said, “but because the Univeristy is on the quarter system, applications must be in before the end of fall term for full financial benefits.” For the academic year 1973-74, $122 million is available to assist an estimated 425,000 students. The maximum award is $452 and the average award is $200. NO, THE DORMS ARE NOT FULL!!! We have cancellations than we anticipated; so we still have a few left both single and double rooms.
