Student Financial Aid Important Over $100,000 in awards of student financial aid have been made by COA during the current academic year to help the families of needy students pay the costs of attending college. While the family and the student are expected to make a maximum effort to pay for higher education, COA stands ready to help those who need help. The financial aid program consists of outright grants of cash, loans and student work. Any student given a cash grant of federal or local scholarship funds is required to make a matching effort either by working at the college or by accepting the obligation of a long term low interest loan. For example, a student given a federal Economic Opportunity Grant or a Robinson scholarship of $200.00 would be required to work at COA five hours each week and be paid $1.60 per hour or about $264.00 for the school year. The work a student might do could be as a library assistant, a laboratory assistant, clerical work, or grounds maintenance. Not all students given work as a form of aid work at COA. Some are working at public agencies in Elizabeth City and Edenton with the agency paying 20 per cent of the student's compensation. Some students do not have the time to work because of heavy course loads. For them, a loan of $200.00 from the National Winners Are Named Williams present c.tificates of 4,342 lbs. per acre. One cer tificate was given to third place winner Nelson Lane who produced an average yield of 4,011 lbs. per acre. A door prize of 2 gallons of Dynap donated by Unlroyal Chemical Company was won by Charles E. White, Jr. J0 m- II I... i" ; Defense Student Loan Fund could be given as matching a $200.00 grant. The loan is interest free while a student completes his education. Then a period of ten years is allowed to make repayment at 3 annual in terest, minimum repayment $15.00 per month. These loans can be forgiven in whole or in part for those students who enter the field of teaching. The amount of 10 of the loun may be forgiven for each year of teaching to to a maximum of 50 forgiveness. Those teachers in special education may have an entire loan forgiven in slightly under seven years. Repayments can be suspended, but not forgiven, while a borrower is serving in Vista, the Peace Corps, or the Armed Forces. The student financial aid program has been implemented over the past seven months by Cmdr. Henry J. Burness who assumed new duties as Business Manager on January 1. Burness will turn over student financial aid matters to Mr. Willis Edwyn Baird who joins the COA staff as the new director of Student Financial Aid on February 1.
