Student Aid
Has High Impact
It was the eighth year an
impact study was provided by
PHEAA to the president of
each school and college
involved. The new figures were
the highest in the 14-year his
tory of Pennsylvania student
aid.
Of the total, $40,321,108 was
from federal funds received by
students due to the state's
requirement that students ap
ply for both the Basic Educa
tional Opportunity Grant (fed
eral) when they seek aid from
the state throjigh the State
Grant Program and the Guar-
Bell of Pennsylvania
anteed Student Loan Program
that is operated by PHEAA for
the Commonwealth, plus a pro
gram pf direct aid to private
schools, the Institutional Assis
tance Grants (lAG) Program.
State Grant recipients
numbering 99,702 received
$63,074,699 from the State
Grant Program. Of that num
ber, 43, 972 also received
$40,321,108 from BEOG.
Some 82,576 students--both
undergraduates and gradu
ates--borrowed $146,251,793
under the Student Loan Pro
gram from participating pri
vate lenders. This, too, was a
record.
Private institutions where
state students receiving State
Grants are in attendance re
ceived $11,137,455 under the
lAG Program. The lAG Pro
gram was passed several years
ago by the Legislature to help
inflation-plagued private insti
tutions to keep tuition costs
from soaring.
Most students play by the rules
when placing a long distance
call. They take advantage of bar
gain rates and make their calls
during the discount periods. If
you're not sure when you can call
at discount rates, check your
phone book.
A few students think it's O.K. to
break the rules by stealing their
telephone calls. They're not beat
ing the system, they're taking
advantage of all of us, because it
drives up the cost of providing
telephone service
Students who break the rules also
run the risk of paying a large fine.
Spending time in Jcnl And getting
themselves a permanent police

It's just not worth it!
