by Mary Lou Hurley The New York State Legislature will soon consider legislation which would provide New York residents access to a new form of higher education financial aid, beginning in the 1981-1982 school year. Similar legislation is under consideration in New Jersey and Connecticut. As part of the Education Amendments of 1980, Congress passed the Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) program providing states with federal money for edu- cation loans. Each state must now act in- dividually to implement the program. A bill to do this has not yet been intro- duced in ths-New York State Legislature, ac- cording to Peter Keitel, vice-president of stu- dent loans at the New York State Higher Ed Koch On Campus Education Association in Albany.
