Although no legislation has been passed allowing students at private institutions to deduct educational expenses from their federal income tax, some headway was made this year in helping these students and their parents cover the costs of education at private schools. This past legislative session Congress passed the Middle Income Student Assistance Act covering Federally Insured Student Loans, removing the income ceiling which • determines eligibility for federal interest benefits. Any Federally Insured Student Loan Program loan disbursed after November 1, , - J 1978 will receive federal interest benefits regardless of the family income of the applicant. This means that students receiving these loans will not be liable for the 7% interest on the student loan while they are in school or during the one-year grace period. This interest will be paid by the government. Under certain circum- stances, loans which were paid before the November 1, 1978 date which did not originally qualify for interest benefits and which were made for expenses for the Fall 1978 semester, can be converted to federal interest benefit status. The inform- '"'Wwrrr--; l;t ation for this transaction has not yet been given to banks which participate in the FISL program by the federal government, but it is expected to be out early this year. We strongly recommend that any student currently carrying a Federally Insured Student Loan get in touch with the bank or institution which made the loan to ensure that his or her -ill Hit——mnwifi.iiimiiiniHmmuiMimiiiuiuinniMHmmm interest has been adjusted.
