State scholarship aid valued at $74,050 Is going to 105 from the Sewickley area, the Pennsylvania. Higher Education Assistance Agency reported today.
The area total is a part of statewide figures showing 66,352 young persons receiving $44,709,500 in state scholarship aid. In addition, the Agency has-guaranteed $109 million covering ‘ 125,000 student loans since the program .began in 1964.
Kenneth R. Reeher, PHEAA Executive Director, said 50 percent of the scholarship awards went to students from families whose total annual income before taxes and deductions was less than $8,000. Four out of five of the remaining awardees came from families earning between $8,000 and $12,000 in gross income, he added.
. A small number of families above the $12,000 level qualified for financial assistance mainly because of large families and/or having more than, one child in'' college this academic year. 37 of the 105 Sewickley area students are from families with two or more children in college.
Reeher pointed out that 85 percent of scholarship recipients are students at institutions of higher learning within the state. Sewickley area students listed are enrolled at 61 different colleges and universities.
The scholarships range from $200 to $800 per year, depending on the student’s need. From this area, 82 of the 105 are receiving the maximum, figure of $800. The top figure was reduced from last year’s $1200 .in order to make available funds to assist as many students as possible. The average award this year was $670.
Eligibility and amount of schol- ’ arship awards are determined on a need formula which* considers the' costs of tuition, fees, room and board at. the institution of the student’s choice. Other factors used include the. student’s family income and assets, applicant’s income and assets, the size of ■ the family, and other children, enrolled in college. Copies of federal income tax reports which must accompany each application are the source of -income information.
Reeher said PHEAA processed more .than 87.000 applications for this academic year and rejected more than 16,000 applicants mostly because the families failed to demonstrate financial need.
Applicants are automatically rejected regardless of the family size or number of children enrolled in college if the family lias a gross income Of $17,000 or ftiore, or assets of more than $30,000. Students living away from home who have the fulltime use of a late model automobile are also automatically rejected.
The 66,352 scholarship recipients include tliis academic year’s higher education freshmen class
of the upper-class recipients ard renewal's of PHEAA grants for previous years.
The number of awards is almost double the number from the previous academic- year. Reeher said a big reason for the increase was that more students have knowledge of the program and are using it to help them continue their education. The reduction in the maximum amount (Please turn to Page 2)
