Students Must Respond To Reagan’s Budget Proposal

President Reagan’s budget message was released around the mid­ dle of February and the message has proposed funding cuts of 25 per­ cent or more for students attending college or higher education institutions. The proposal places unrealistically low maximums on the amount of money one could receive, and would eliminate large numbers from eligibility for grants and loans. The President has proposed a max­ imum of $4000 on the amount of aid any one student can receive from any combination of federal sources. How does this effect us in R.I.? Over 8500 of aid applicants need more than $4000. Fifty percent need $6200 or more and 25 percent need $7800 or more. With Reagan’s new proposal many would have to drop out of good schools and their academic needs or career aspira­ tions would not be fulfilled. Under Reagan’s proposal, families which have combined gross in­ comes of more than $32,500 a year would be ineligible for federally subsidized student loans. Families with incomes of more than $25,000 would be dropped from the federal grant program which would af­ fect an estimated 808,000 of the 2.8 million students who receive Pell Grants, work study, National Direct Loans, or Supplemental Grants. COMMENTARY The income of $32,500 annually will eliminate 29 percent of the 17,162 students who needed loans this year. Over 5,000 R.I. students would lose the opportunity to borrow at reasonable rates to pay the cost of their education. Wait 'til Otis Sees Us The President has also proposed that students earn at least $800 in order to be eligible for various forms of federal assistance. If a by W.
