state aid amounting to $495,550.
The statewide list numbers
about 39,00 recipients for the
current school year and repre­sents
an outlay of $31.5 million.
The annual cost was $12.6
million when the program start­ed
two years ago and is expect­ed
to rise another $15 million,
to more than $46.5 million, next
year under a resolution of in­tent
adopted by the Legislature
but pending approval of the new
j budget.
1 Also explained was the prin­ciple
of need analysis that deter-
| mines the amount of individual
awards, to a maximum of $1200
a year, without a specific limit
on the family’s income.
The family’s . financial situa­tion
is evaluated according to
total family income and a por­tion
of its assets with liabilities
deducted.
The expected contribution is
then adjusted to the number of
dependent children in the fami­ly
with special consideration to
those with more than one child
in college at the same time.
A standardized procedure
examines each application by
computer and equitably deter­mines
if an award is justified.
Each applicant’s parents are
required to file a notarized or
certified copy of their federal
income tax return from the tax
year preceding the year of appli­cation.
“The basic tenet of the state
icholarship program is that it
,s intended and was enacted for
the purpose of assisting stu­dents
who, without common­wealth
assistance, would not be
able to enroll in the institution
jf higher learning of their
choice to pursue educational
preparation required for their
future occupation,” a state offi­cial
said.
It was also explained that the
awards are made in four groups.
The first and highest is
Group I, representing the 5,000
highest scorers in the state­wide
competition for Common­wealth
scholarships. This is the
group showing the greatest aca­demic
potential.
Group LIA are students dem­onstrating
sufficient academic
potential who are attending
degree-granting institutions.
Croup IIB are students with
similar qualifications as those in
Group 1IA, but attending non­degree-
granting institutions.
Group III students are recipi­ents
named by the educational
institution they are attending as
having a demonstrated need for
financial assistance and making
normal progress. They are spec­ial
freshmen and those who
have had at least a one-year
lapse between secondary school
graduation and college enroll­ment.
