The article noted similarities between these arrangements and relationships between colleges and student loan providers that have come under fire in the last year.br+ A group of borrowers of student loans has filed a class action challenging a plan in Missouri to use profits and funds from the state student loan agency to finance construction projects at public colleges and universities, the Associated Press reported. Missouri officials have hailed the plan as a creative way to finance improvements in public higher education, but the suit charges that the funds are being misused and should be directed toward getting better repayment terms for borrowers.brbrScholarship Updatebr+ National Presbyterian College Scholarshipbr+ For young students preparing to enter as full-time incoming freshmen in one of the participating colleges related to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

  19. FAP653: College tuition hikes again, conferences, Matthew Ebel

    FAP653: College tuition hikes again, conferences, Matthew EbelbrbrStudent Financial Aid Newsbr+ a href="http://chronicle.com/daily/2007/10/455n.htm"Chronicle/a: Financial aid to college students has increased by 82 percent over the past decade but still falls short of covering the average price of a college education, as the cost of attending the nation's public universities has continued to outpace inflation, family income, and sources of grant aid, according to two new surveys from the College Board.br+ More than $130-billion in grants, federal loans, Work-Study funds, and education tax credits and deductions was distributed to undergraduate and graduate students in the 2006-7 academic year, one of the surveys found, while students borrowed an additional $18-billion from state and a href="http://www.acteducationloans.com"private lenders/a to pay for their education.br+ But aid from the federal government, though still a major source of financial assistance for many students, is not keeping pace with rising costs, according to a report on the survey, "Trends in Student Aid."br+ a href="http://www.staffordloan.com"Federally subsidized Stafford loans/a, in which the government pays the interest on a loan while the student is in school, accounted for less than a third of total student aid in 2006-7, down from 54 percent 10 years ago.br+ Pell Grants, which provide need-based assistance to low-income students, covered 32 percent of tuition, fees, and room and board costs at the average public four-year college, down from covering 54 percent of such costs 20 years ago.br+ And federal loans altogether made up less than half of all undergraduate aid in an increasingly complex web of financing options, the survey found.br+ a href="http://www.acteducationloans.com"Private student loans/a, by contrast, now represent nearly a quarter of all a href="http://www.acteducationloans.com"education loans/a, up from 6 percent a decade ago, the survey found.br+ While students at community colleges received 34 percent of all Pell Grant dollars in the 2005-6 academic year, they received 9 percent of all assistance from the federal campus-based aid programs, 7 percent of a href="http://www.staffordloan.com"subsidized Stafford loans/a, 6 percent of a href="http://www.staffordloan.com"unsubsidized Stafford loans/a, and 1 percent of all a href="http://www.parentplusloan.com"federal PLUS loans (for parents)/a, the survey found.br+ The survey on college pricing, meanwhile, found that the average cost of a college education rose faster than the inflation rate this year, particularly at public four-year institutions. In-state tuition and fees at public four-year institutions during the 2007-8 academic year increased 6.6 percent from 2006-7, the survey found, while the price for out-of-state students rose 5.5 percent.br+ In dollar amounts, those increases meant that the average cost of tuition and fees for in-state students was $6,185, or $381 more than last year, the survey found. For out-of-state students, it was $16,640, or $862 more than the 2006-07 figure.br+ At private four-year institutions, tuition and fees increased 6.3 percent from last year, with the average cost of tuition and fees reaching $23,712, or $1,404 more than last year.br+ Public two-year institutions posted a 4.2-percent increase from last year's amount, averaging $2,361, or $95 more than last year.br+ The increase in tuition and fees this year at the nation's four-year public colleges was in keeping with a trend that has persisted for three decades, according to the survey. From 1977-78 to 2007-8, the rate of growth in the price at such institutions has been faster than at private institutions, and the dollar gap between the cost of tuition at the two types of institutions "widens every year even after adjusting for inflation," the survey found.brbrScholarship Updatebr+ The John F. And Anna Lee Stacey Scholarship Fund For Art Educationbr+ In accordance with the will of the late Anna Lee Stacey, a trust fund has been created for the education of young men and women who aim to make art their profession.br+ open to United States citizens only, both men and women, single or married, irrespective of race creed or color. The age limit is between 18 and 35 years. Appointments will normally be for one year and the amount available for distribution will approximate $5,000.00.

    pFAP727: CLC exits, Free Stuff Friday/p pListen now: /p pStudent Financial Aid Newsbr / + a href="http://chronicle.com/daily/2008/01/1459n.htm?utm_source=atamp;utm_medium=en"Chr onicle/a: Fifty states, the federal government, and thousands of American colleges and universities are about to face a test of their commitment to higher education, at a time when the country is under economic stress and high-school graduating classes are about to crest.br / + While the official #8220;recession#8221; label has not been used, the news broke on Wednesday that the American economy slowed to a crawl in the last quarter of 2007, growing only 0.6 percent. That#8217;s not the negative number of a recession, but a lower one than many economists expected.br / + When recessions strike, as they have most recently in 2001 and 1991, the economic duress can hit the wallets of low- and middle-income families, making it harder for them to send their children to college. This year such families also have to face inflation, and the costs of gasoline and eggs will be on the minds of those pricing colleges.br / + In times of higher unemployment, which is another feature of recessions, classrooms are more attractive than the job market and laid-off workers need retraining, so public institutions in particular, with their cheaper tuition, often find their enrollments up. But if tuition does not cover costs, that can stretch their resources.br / + Public colleges are stuck riding the down slope on the roller coaster of revenues that business cycles can bring to state governments. As consumers shop less, for instance, state sales-tax income falls. The financial pain of recessions can also be felt in surprising quarters: As workers lose their jobs, universities that operate teaching hospitals that have to absorb the costs of uncompensated health care can watch those costs go up.br / + a href="http://www.hewi.net/news/news.asp?Type=Headline"HEWI/a: The College Loan Corporation (CLC), the 8th largest FFELP lender, has decided to exit the FFELP business, effective March 1, 2008.br / + In a statement to HEWI from Cary Katz, the company#8217;s CEO, Katz states that #8220;recent Congressional action has decimated the Federal Family Education Loan Program, essentially making it impossible for midsized companies like College Loan Corporation to participate in the a href="http://www.staffordloan.com" class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title="federal loans" rel="external"federal loan/a marketplace. In addition, continuing disruptions in the credit markets have compounded the impact of the legislation.
