Student Loans As a result of new federal guidelines, less financial aid will be available in the future for students who wish to further their education after high school. However, according to Kings Mountain High guidance counselor D.B. Blalock, money is available through low interest loans. One of the most popular of these programs, he said, is the Guaranteed Student Loan, which is for students from families whose income is less than $30,000 and others who have unusual circumstances such as high medical bills, losses from business, and other reasons. The GSL is a low-interest loan made by a lender such as a bank. credit union, or savings and loan association. The current rate is nine percent. Students currently enrolled under the seven percent loan may continue to borrow at seven percent. Undergraduate students can borrow up to $2,500 per year and graduate students may bor row up to $5,000 a year. Depen ding on the family income, the student may have to show finan cial need, and the amount of that need may limit the size of the loan. The college or technical school the student plans to at^ tend will have full details about how the need is determined. Applications may be obtained by the school you plan to attend, or from the N.C. Guaranteed Student Loan College Founda tion Inc., 1307 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, N.C. 27605. Loan repayment begins sbe months after the student leaves school if the interest rate is nine percent, and nine to 12 months after he leaves school if the rate is seven percent. The lender generally must allow up to five years to repay and may allow up to 10 years. A student is con sidered having left school when he falls below the half-time status. Students borrowing money must pay an “origination’* fee when borrowing the money. Five percent of the amount bor rowed will be deducted from the loan and passed on to the Federal Government to help reduce the government’s cost of subsidizing the low-interest loans. An insurance premium of up to one percent of the total loan may also be collected in advance. For more information, con tact the school you plan to at tend, or Kings Mountain High School.
