2—The Daily Colleg an Tuesday Dec 14 1982 Companies make $ $ locating aid for students ey ALECIA SWASY 'Collegian Staff Writer If a student is looking for money to help make ends meet, plenty of commercial agencies are out there ready to supply the information if the student is willing to pay their fees. Two computerized scholarship and loan locater services report that demands for their services have increased as students find it more difficult to finance their educations. Nationally, students may be turning to these services, said Charles D. Bolan, assistant director of student aid for institutional and private programs. If students would rather invest their time instead of their money, the University Office of Student Aid has most of the informa tion they could need. "The Office of Student Aid does not recommend any of these services," Bolan said. Students who have used these services have told him they were not happy with the results and a few complained that they did not receive their money's worth, he said. "I would not do it myself," Bolan said. A student should only consult these agencies for his own peace of mind and to assure themselves that "no stone is left unturned." However, the computerized scholarship and loan locater services Student College Aid of Houston and Peterson's Guides Inc. of Princeton, N.J., contend they can provide a worthwhile service to a student in need of financial aid. Student College Aid offers a number of services for fees ranging from $l5 to $49. _ CH " ISTMAS SALE CHRISTM • ' • • ' • • SALE CHRISTMAS SALE CHRISTMAS SALE CHRISTMA HRISTMAS SALE CHRISTMAS SALE CHRISTMAS SAL MAS SALE CHRISTMAS SALE CHRISTMAS SALE CHRI' : SALE CHRISTMAS SALE CH".I. , STMAS SALE CHRISTMA.

The company contacts all the private sources of awards and updates its computer data base each year with any new information, Rosenwasser said. However, Bolan said the Office of Student Aid updates their information as much as possible. If more informa tion is needed, students who have declared their majors can contact their advisors about specific awards. Also, Bolan said, every state high school has lists of scholarships and procedures available to students at the University, he said. More than 8,000 requests for source listings were re ceived from January to October this year, Rosenwasser said. He thinks this number is increasing each year because . of the federal government's cutbacks in student aid programs. Although no actual data was available, Rosenwasser estimated that 25 to 40 percent of those students who used its services actually received aid. Most of the aid sources in its data base are corporations, religious and ethnic groups, fraternal organizations and unions, he said. The scholarship locator service also provides information on state Money available to out-of state students, Rosenwasser said. For the basic $45 fee, a student will receive a listing of at least five sources of scholarships and loans for which he is eligible on the basis of information he supplies, Rosenwas- S SAL 'T RI iF THE MAN WHO VES IN GIVING" NCISCANS kpi4l odeA, RECTOR OF VOCATIONS nciscan Fathers, T.O.R.

Student College Aid offers a discount of $lO off the $45 fee if a family has two students in college and $l5 off if there are three or more in college, Rosenwasser ,said. For this fee, "the best we can guarantee is five bonified sources," Rosenwasser said. If fewer than five sources are found, the student will receive a refund along with the listings the company was able to locate, he said. The average number of listings found for each student is 12 sources. Rosenwasser estimated the potential value of these sources at $12,000. Although the students receive these lists of available aid there is no guarantee a student will ever see any of that money. Bolan warned there is a "world of difference between being eligible for and receiving awards." For example, he said, less than 5 percent of undergrad uate students haire received a University-controlled award. And, of the 18,000 freshman enrolled this year who were eligible for University scholarships, only 400 actually received atvards, he said. Although little award money goes unused, Bolan said, the awards are often accompanied by stringent require ments made by the individual donor. Sometimes it is difficult for a student to fill these specifications. For instance, a donor might request that the loan or schol arship be awarded to a freshnian in a particular major and be in the upper percentile of his class. While some universities may not recommend these companies, Student College Aid has made an effort to Season 's ..9s and 127 S. Pugh Sunday. Specials Sunday Only 8 tokens/Dollar Valid thru Feb. 28 expand its services. It recently added three new services: an athletic award matching service; a four-yer college matching service, and a graduate school scholarship and loan locator service. The athletic award service provides a list of every four year college with athletic awards for a particular sport the student is interested in, Rosenwasser said. The service is available for a fee of $l5, he said. The four-year college matching Service matches stu dents up with the type of college or university best suited to the student in terms of size, location and available majors. This service is available for $l9. The graduate school service offers a list of three sources of awards for graduate students in their specific field of study for a fee of $49, Rosenwasser said. While Student College Aid specializes in providing lists of potential funding sources, Peterson's Guides Inc., specializes in providing a "planning ahead" financial aid service, said Peter Hegener, president of Peterson's Guides. For a fee of $2O, any student can receive a family contribution calculation which includes a table of how much a family will need to contribute, Hegener said. The package also includes current information on federal and state aid plus financial aid profiles of up to ten colleges of the student's choice, he said. If the student wants a listing of available private scholarships qualified for, an additional $25 fee is charged, Hegener said. Business club will sponsor holiday party In an effort to bridge the gap be tween students, faculty. and admins trators, the Business. Student Council will hold a Christmas Party for all business majors tomorrow. Lori Kampf, chairwoman for the party, said the event is planned so students can meet with faculty and advisors in an informal setting. Kampf remembers when the par ties weren't very successful, , but says this year's party will be different from previous ones a buffet dinner will be served and may attract more people. The party, co-sponsored by the College of Business Administration, will begin at 5:30 tomorrow evening in 201 Business Administration Build ing. The party is a good opportunity for students to get to know their teachers and to ask any questions they may have for their advisors about classes to take, Kampf said. —by Chris Stamboulls Kern Cafeteria will hold its annual Holiday Candlelight Dinner on Tuesday, December 14, 1982, 1 in conjunction with International Holiday Festival Week.

In past years the race has started at noon, but the streets downtown were blocked off around 10:30 a.m. This has caused a problem for downtown businessmen because it seriously decreases their morning sales, said JoAnn Lew, president of the Downtown Business Association. Part of the problem is the limited parking in down town State College. The Pugh Street Parking Garage is downtown's only parking garage, but because of the route the race takes, it must be closed off. The business organization's suggestion to alleviate the problem is to start the race at 3 p.m., so streets could remain open until 1:30 p.m. and patrons could shop in the morning. "It's not our intention to hurt the Phi Psi," Lew said. "It's a good cause and has been very good to our area and community." But Lew said the race does hurt business.

"I can verify a 35 percent decrease for that day," she said, "That's a great deal of business (to lose), espe cially in today's economy." However, organizers for the Phi Psi say changing the starting time might decrease the amount of money raised. Tim Sommer of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity said the fraternity has not yet decided anything about the DBA's request. "We'd like the starting time to stay the same," he said. An alternate possiblity was submitted to start the race one hour later but end at the same time. As a result, the race would have to cut back 600 runners and would lose about $7,000 in funds normally raised, Lew said. And the one hour would not make an appreciable difference to the businessmen's problem either, she said. Usually the Phi Psi organizers approach the DBA in February or March to get feedback about the race. Every year the association has voiced its concern about decreased sales the day of the race, but no definitive action had been taken until now.
