Financial Aid
Number 7
How WiU Budget Cuts Affect You?
The U.S. Department of Educa
tion, under the leadership of
Secretary of Education Terry
Bell, is currently faced with
serious decisions affecting over
50% of the current student body
at Brevard College.
Student Financial Assistance
at Brevard, under the direction of
Financial Aid Administrator Ed
Cunningham, consists of funds
derived from three major
sources. In 1981-82 the Federal
Government provided 30%; N.C.
State Government 36%; and
Brevard College 31%. The small
balance of 3% comes from
private scholarships secured
directly by the students, usually
from their home areas. In addi
tion many students and their
families have turned to the In
sured Student Loan Programs in
their various states to borrow the
additional necessary funds to
meet the cost of higher education.
The Department of Education
faces the question of being
dissolved by the Reagan Ad
ministration in the near future. It
has suffered severe cutbacks in
funds for education as a result of
the current efforts to reduce the
federal budget; and it cannot
make final decisions about aid to
students in college until Congress
acts on the current budget. It will
definitely have less funds
available for 1982-83.
What does all this mean to you
as a student at Brevard College
who will need financial help to
return to Brevard next fall, or to
transfer to a four year school
after graduation? It means first
of all to proceed as you normally
would in requesting financial aid
for 1982-83. That is, file the Finan
cial Aid Form (FAF) with Col
lege Scholarship Service as soon
as possible after January 1,1982.
NOW IS THE TIME.
Second, it means you should
make every effort to earn and
save as much money as you can
this summer.
Third, it means you should
alert your parents to prepare to
have to spend more in 1982-83
than they did this year for your
education.
Fourth, it means that Brevard,
as well as all colleges, will have
less funds available from Federal
sources to award to deserving
students.
Fifth, it means you may not be
informed as early as before just
how much aid you will be award
ed for 1982-83.
Finally, it may mean you will
be awarded less financial aid in
1982-83 than you received in
1981-82.
You should not be discouraged
by these facts. On the contrary,
you must strengthen your resolve
to do what is necessary in order
to continue your education. You
may rest assured that, as in the
long past history of Brevard,
every student who has enrolled at
Brevard and who has asked for
financial help has recieved finan
cial aid. Brevard College will
continue to maintain this policy
and philosophy.
The Financial Aid Ad
ministrator is most willing to be
of any assistance he can. If you
need or want advice or help
please ask.

The first sophomore art
Mr. Bob Hayes, Director of
Financial Affairs for Brevard
College, has been elected as the
1982 President of the United Way
in Transylvania County.
The goal of the United Way is to
consolidate and better distribute
the donated moneys from the peo
ple of Transylvania County.
These “gifts” donated are
dispersed to 14 various agencies
located throughout the county.
The agencies include: the
American Red Cross, the Boy
Scouts, the Brevard Rescue
Squad, the Lions Club (Brevard
and Pisgah Forest), Jenkins
Community Center, Meals-on-
Wheels, Girl Scouts, Rosman
Rescue Squad, the Salvation Ar
my, the Humane Society, the
Youth Association, the Forsee
Program, the Transylvania Com
munity Hospital, and Western
Carolina Community Action.
Mr. Hayes’ job is to appoint
various committees and commit
tee chairmen to best coordinate
efforts for the needs of these
various agencies and any fund
raising activities. In other words,
Mr. Hayes’ job is to help coor
dinate the needs of the agencies
with the donors’ giving to
eliminate many campaigns
through the year with a one shot
deal.
Mr. Hayes has been a part of
the Transylvania County United
Way for five years, working in
various capacities as solicitor
and board member, including the
budget committee. Already, Mr.
Hayes has been busy at work
since they have surpassed their
1982 budget of $116,000 by
reaching $124,000 in pledges.
The United Way is an organiza
tion whose main objective is help
ing others. It is quite obvious that
the people of Transylvania Coun
ty have no problem in giving -
they give from the heart. “Our ef
forts are made easier,” Mr.
Hayes said, “due to the many un
paid volunteers who see that the
agencies’ needs are met.” In
deed, the people of Transylvania
County care a lot for their
fellowman.
students’ exhibit concludes to
day. Their work shows great im
agination & talent. Another stu
dent show is planned for the end
of April through graduation.
A number of films concerning
art are shown this semester in the
Library filmroom. Students at
tending two of the film series can
substitute that for one Life and
Series credit. The films are
shown on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m.
