Basic grants available
For many young people.
Fall means back to school
and a chance to further their
education beyond high
school. But any student
knows that school can cost a
lot of money.
The Basic Educational
Opportunity Grant Program
of HEW’s Office of
Education is giving grants
that range between $2OO and
$1,400 to students enrolled in
postsecondary schools. And
it’s not too late to apply for
the 1975-76 academic year.
The deadline is March 15,
1976.
Eligibility for Basic
Grants is based on financial
need as determined by a
formula reviewed by
Congress every year and
applied uniformly to 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
planning to enroll at least
half-time.
-An applicant must have
begun postsecondary
education after April 1, 1973.
To apply for a Basic Grant,
students fill out an “Ap
plication for Determination
of Basic Grant Eligibility.”
Applications are available
from high school counselors,
postsecondary financial aid
officers, public libraries or
by writing: Basic Grants, P.
0. Box 84, Washington, D. C.
20044.
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 at the school,
students must take this
notification to the financial
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 technical
schools, career academies.

and hoapital schools of

The grants may be used
(or any educational expense,
including 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 con
junction with other private,
State, and Federal
assistance.
Look 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.
