The federally sponsored program enables college and other post-secondary students to borrow up to $1,500 per academic year to help with education costs. Repayment begins between nine and 12 months after graduation or leaving school. If the adjusted family income is less than 15,000, the Government pays the interest prior to the time the student is required to begin repayment. Lending institutions are insured by the Federal government or by state or private nonprofit agencies against losses due to default, bankruptcy and death and lisability. Thus far, most defaults and bankruptcies have been covered by the small amount of loan in surance charged to the student borrowers under most programs. The bankruptcy rate has been 1 20th of one per cent. Death and disability claims total about %th of one per cent. In the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1971, students received, for the first time in a single year, more than a billion dollars under the loan program. In the first four months of the current fiscal year loans have amunted to nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars, up 22 per cent from the same period last year. 0 Price to judge in COSIDA Tom Price, Sports Information Director at Carolina, has been appointed to the Program and Display Awards Committee of the College Sports Information Directors of America.
