State Open The Pennsylvania State Scho larship Program will operate during the upcoming academic year under both a new name, higher education grahts and modifications in its eligibility standards. The new eligibility rules for the 1973-74 school year will be geared to take into con sideration the inflationary trend as it affects middle income families, while at the same time continuing the program philosophy of providing the most help possible to those with modest incomes. The change in the name of the program from scholarship to higher education grant has been made to more properly reflect that awards dre based upon financial need rather than scholastic achievement. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency approved changes in the eligibility standards used to determine a student’s need.

Applicants whose family in come is $B,OOO or less will con tinue to be given consideration for 50 percent of their need after their parental contribution is determined. If, however, they are eligible to apply for the new federal program of Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (available this year to freshmen only) their grant on the state level will drop to 33 1-3 percent level. However, a $6 million outlay of new federal money coupled with the state grants should maintain the student’s grant from both federal and state sources, at the equivalent or higher level than in previous years. Generally, the state program operates on the principle that those costs of education JULY 24 HARRY HOFFMAN & SONS RD2 Greencastle, Pa. remaining to be financed after the parents have provided their expected contribution will be met in part by a third each of student work, student loan and a state grant. The grant is never allowed to exceed the costs of tuition and fees or $1,200. The inflation factor was taken into consideration when the Board acted to make access somewhat easier for those in dividual applicants from moderate income families, particularly those families with more than one child in a post secondary institution. Kenneth R. Reeher, Executive Director of PHEAA, explained that the annual rate of increase in family income in the applicant file has been consistent at about 3 percent over the past three years. At the same time, the cost of living has had an annual increase running at about 6 percent. “The rising costs in maintaining the family at home is seriously affecting the family’s ability to pay the rising costs of higher education,” Reeher said.

July 21.1973 who have more than one child in college, business, technical or nursing schools to be given more consideration than they had in the past. “One of the biggest complaints from the public has been that many of those in the middle income brackets received either no awards or awards that were small and without meaning,” Reeher said. “Whaf we are experiencing is a situation where continuation of the previous method of arriving at need for these families would have been unrealistic in the terms of the money these families have to pay for their children’s college education.” Approximately 100,000 State Higher Education Grants are expected to be made for the 1973- 74 academic year. This will in clude the 4,000 flood victims who were aided by emergency funds which covered their scholarship assistance for the 1972-73 academic year. For 1973-74, there will be no special funds or eligibility standards for flood victims. Their grants will be awarded from the overall basic fund to be appropriated by the General Assembly as will most grants for eligible veterans. The Agency will announce the eligibility standards for veterans in the immediate future. Applications for the BEOG will be supplied by PHEAA to assure that students are aware of and make application for the federal aid as well as the state aid. The changes in the program’s parameters which were in stituted by the PHEAA Board will result in more students being able to obtain state student financial aid for the upcoming academic year without causing financial hardship to other participants in the overall program.
