At.J.C, Smith University Y - ■ ■■■ > Budget Cuts Have Not Taken By Nancy Anderson Post Staff Writer An education is a pos session of which no man can be robbed, but with the cost of college tuition sky rocketing and cuts being made in educational funds, it is also a difficult task to achieve. President Ronald Rea gan. making ample budget cuts in major areas ol federal, funds, has also managed to include federal" money to assist in educa tional benefits Reagan's one major grant effected by cuts is the Basic Educational Oppor tunity Grant BEOG made deductions in the amount of awards provided for stu dents with financial insta bilities BEOG is an entitle ment grant for an acade mic year. Entitlement sinr ply means any student who meets eligibility criteria for the program will re ceive a BEOG award. BEOG is called "the found ation for all aids.” This a student must apply for BEOG before any other source of aid is admin istered. Who determines whether a student qualifies for such a grant? According to Ranee Jackson, director of financial aid at Johnson C. Smith University, the de cision is not resolved by the school officials. “Smith has no preference as to deciding who will receive BEOG and who will not,” he began. "This is totally left up to the Basic Grant Office in California,” he continued. Eligibility and the amount of the award are determined by the U S. Department of Education, based on a congressionally approved formula. The index derived from this formula and the student’s enrollment status are used to determine the dollar amount of the award. yearly tuition at Johnson C. Smith is $2,482, that’s excluding fees, room and board. The university enrolls men and women which make up a popula tion of about 1,400 students. Jackson proudly declares, "The cuts have not taken any effect on the enroll ment at Smith,” he con firmed. “The enrollment has not changed from the previous year.” Students migrate from about 25 states and several foreign countries. However, most out-of-state and foreign stu dents are not affected by the budget cut. "The BEOG cuts have no adverse effect on out-of-state and foreign students," Jackson replied. “But foreign students do not qualify unless they are a permanent citizen of the All Saver Certificates i Available Oct. 1st f Mechanics & Farmers Bank will have All Saver Certificates available October 1st.

Subsequently, if students are not eligible for a BEOG award there are other alternatives. The Federal Government sup plements the universities with additional financial aid. These aids consist of: 11) College Work Study tCW'S) - A need based work program in which students earn a portion of their edu cational cost through a stu "dent ■ employment - pro-., gram • 2) National Direct Stu dent Loan (N’DSL) - A low interest loan. Cancellation is available for students from families with ex tremely low financial resources (3) Supplemental Educa tional Opportunity Grant (SEOG) - A grant to assist the exceptionally needy student. All of which is considered a total financial aid package. In order for a student to continue to receive aid from the University or BEOG he must sustain a satisfactory grade point «w4 nd Big Sis ten 81 Black Children Are Waiting For Kg Brothers If vou have a little spare time, and you'd like to do something to brighten the life of a lonely kid, Big Brothers-Big Sisters of Charlotte needs to hear from you. They have 135 such kids waiting for Big Brothers or Sisters. Some have been waiting two years. All are from single parent homes Eighty-one are black. The list continues to grow each month, because referrals on children are so much more numerous than adult volunteer applicants. 190 children have Big Brothers or Sisters, but only 40 per cent of them are black. —“This ratio should be at least 60 percent,” saysTa spokesman for the agency. "Our greatest single need is for more men and wo men in the black commun ity who are willing to do nate just a few hours a week. Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age, settled in employment and must be residents of Meck lenburg County. Volunteers who serve in this important capacity seem to have as much fun and benefit almost as much from the relationship as the kius tney are matched with. It's difficult to mea sure the benefit these matched children receive; how can we measure the effects of friendship? average (GPA) "I have strong hopes that students will strive harder for sub stantial GPA.” implied Jackson. "Students under stand now that they have a bigger responsibility as far as academics are con cerned." The maximum amount for the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant for the 1981-82 school year is $1. - - liZU— This, ^amount_varies among different schools, depending on the cost of education Estimation shows a reduction of $80 from the maximum cost of the previous year Jackson, a graduate of Johnson C. Smith Univers ity. reveals great concern for future financial assist ance. "I'm very uncertain about future financial aid for students, because everyday when you read the newspapers there have been cuts in a variation of things." He went on to say, "Sometimes you don't know what to expect next." Growing up, even under normal circumstances, is tough enough. How much tougher it must be when there's only one parent, when there's no adult friend or role model, some one who cares; someone to look up to; someone who makes you feel important. This is the role we ask the Big Brother or Sister to fill, a role tnai only they uair fill."
