Grants f Eligible OF Students For many young people, September means back to K-hool and a chance lo further their education beyond high school. But any student knows that school can cost a lot of money. The Basic Educational Op portunity Grant Program of HEWs Office of Education is giving grants that range between $200 and $1,400 to students enrolled in post secondary schools. And it's not too late to apply for the 197578 academic year. The deadline is Mar, 15, 1976. Eligibility for Basic Grants is based on financial need as determined by a formula reviewed by Congress every year and applied uniformly lo all applicants. The only other requirements for eligibility are these: An applicant must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. An applicant must be plan ning to enroll at least half time. An applicant must have begun postseeondary educa tion afler April I, 1973. To apply for a Basic Grant, students fill out an "Applica tion for Determination of Basic Grant Eligibility." Ap plications are available from high school counselors, post secondary financial aid olfic ers. public libraries or by writing: Basic Grants. P.O. Box H Washington, DC. 2U044. Four to six weeks after submitting an application, students are informed of their eligibility. Since the amount of the grant depends on both financial need and the cost of the school, students must take this notification to the finan cial aid office at the school which they plan to attend to find out the amount of the award. Students may use the grants at any of over 5,800 colleges and universities, community colleges, vocational and tech nical schools, career acade mies, and hospital schools of nursing. The grants may be used for any educational expense. In cluding tuition, fees, room and board, books and supplies. But, in no instance, may they exceed one half of the total cost of a year's education. They can, however, be used in conjunction with other pri vate, state and federal assist ance, took into Basic Grants. It costs nothing to apply, and they never have to be paid back. A few simple steps toward a Basic Grant could put you on the road of a good education this fall.
