Loans becoming popular way .to pay tuition, official says
increasing college lOsts have forced many parents to pay tuition through loans rather than through tamily savings. "The trend (in financing education) is toward borrowing," said Joe Paul Case, director of the College Board's College Scholarship Service.
The trend is discouraging but not surprising t he cost of attending the university is increasing at an annual rate of 12 percent It is estimated that a four-year education that begins in I960 will cost $>43,492. The university recently estimated next year's tuition could possibly rise to $205 a unit, an increase of some 15 percent.
On the brighter side, the university dispersed $55 million in financial aid last year, said Michael H^horan, director of Autom. ed systems and Financial Aid.
Approximate!) 61) to 65 percent of the undergraduate stu-
dents received tmancial aid Iasi year.
Guaranteed Student Loans (CSL) are the number one source of assistance lor students. Last year, students received S13.5 million Irom GSL, and this vear Halloian anticipates the figure increasing to $20 million.
This trend is the same ior all of California The Chase Manhattan Bank projected California students icouid burrow a projected SI58 million. Ill percent in excess ol the original projection with a monih ol the loan period still remaining, Halloran said
"The GSL program is favorable and easy for students," Halloran said.
Students who borrowed before Jan. 1 will have nine months after graduation, at an interest rate ol seven percent,
before beginning lo pay back the loan Anv loans granted now have a six-month grace period before payments K‘gin at nine percent interest.
In addition (o GSI and Cal Grants, some S31 million was given to students through National Direct Student Loans, Basic Educational Opportunity
Crants. Supplementary l.mca lional Opportunity l.i nts. Work Study and university and departmental awards and 'Cholarships.
