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.
