                     Thursday,August 7,1986  \n# STUDENT AID BUYING POWER DOWN,COLLEGE BOARD SAYS\n\nAlthough the total amount of student financial aid has been increasing inrecent years,the College Board reports this week that inflation has caused adecline in the buying power of that money.  \nThe College Board's report,\"Trends in Student Aid:1980-1986,\"says financial  \naid from federal,state and institutional sources climbed to more than $21 bil-  \nlion in the 1985-86 academic year,compared with $18 billion in 1981-82 and  \njust $16.6 billion in 1982-83.  \n\"A broader view,however,that considers trends in inflation,college costs,income and the number of eligible students applying for aid suggests thatpaying for college is more difficult now than in the 1970s,\"the report adds.\"Adjusting for inflation,as reflected in the Consumer Price Index,changes thepicture from 23 percent growth…to 3 percent decline.\"  \nCollege Board research also indicates that the cost of attending college isrising faster than the rate of inflation and that incomes have barely keptpace with the cost of living,so the number of students applying for aidcontinues to rise.  \nContradicts Hartle ResearchThe report,the third major study on payingfor college released in the past week,contradicts some of the conclusionsreached by Terry Hartle of the American Enterprise Institute。Hartle's report,released earlier this week,said middle-income families with college-age chil-dren are bringing home large enough paychecks to cover the inflated collegecosts(HED,Aug.6)。  \nLawrence Gladieux,executive director of the College Board's Washington,D.C.,office,said the differing conclusions stem from the different vantage pointsused by the two studies.\"Even if you look at [Hartle's figures],collegecosts are rising,\"he said.\"The trend of the first half of the 1980s ismaking it more difficult to pay for college.\"  \nHartle chose to call median income families with 18-or 19-year-old dependentsthe true \"median income\"families.That may be true,Gladieux said,but as thestudent population grows older,fewer and fewer college students come fromfamilies that fit the traditional mold.  \nMoreover,Gladleux said,both the College Board and Hartle's study concludethat it is becoming increasingly difficult for poor families to afford college,especially the selective,high cost private institutions.(more)  \n(  \n# STUDENT AID BUYING POWER DOWN,COLLEGE BOARD SAYS(Cont.)\n\nThe College Board report reveals several other trends in the student financialaid arena,including:  \n■ State and institutional aid is becoming more important to students.Stategrants increased by 35 percent after adjusting for inflation,according to theCollege Board.\"Data on institutionally awarded aid are sketchy,but the ev1-dence is that it has also been growing very fast.We estimate that it hasgrown by 26 percent in inflation-adjusted terms since 1980-81.\"  \n■ There appears to be a shift in the type of postsecondary institutionsenrolling Pell Grant recipients,the report says.The proportion of federalPell Grants to proprietary schools increased from 11.5 percent to an estimated  \n20.9 percent in the 1980s.Two-year institutions maintained a constant shareof Pell Grants,while four-year colleges saw their share decline.  \n■ The proportion of aid available through loans,which had been growing sincethe mid-1970s,\"appears to have stabilized,\"the College Board says.Grantmoney,which had accounted for 80 percent of the student aid awarded in 1975-  \n76,declined to about 46 percent by 1984-85.However,that level remainedconstant in 1985-86.  \nIf the trends of the 1980s continue,Gladieux said,the poorest students wil1continue to be squeezed.And with Congress nearing completion of the HigherEducation Act reauthorization without major student aid initiatives,thesqueeze will probably continue,he added.\"I don't think we are doing anythingto correct the policies that have caused this.\"  \nCepartmeft G48r,eBox 886,aeat lahk,for.50foom.co31le R","cbCais9xf9MRoEn7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais9xf9MRoEn7","pdf",1722719,"English","# STUDENT
