Bannister said the office could exceed its budget because 20 to 25 percent of the students awarded money probably will not come to USC and thus will not claim their grants. Bannister said speedier processing of award applications, the elimination of paperwork and a reorganization of the office inprpncoH (ho mimkAw ?Miv IIUIIIIA!!
