EDUCATION  \nDAILY  \nThe Independent dally news service foradministrators in postsecondaryeducation.  \n              Thursday,Apri111,1985  \nVol.13,No.71  \n# STUDY FINDS PROPOSED AID CUTS WOULD FALL HARDEST ON WOMEN\n\nWomen college students,especially non-traditional students heading single-par-ent families,would be disproportionately hurt by the Reagan administration'sproposed student aid cuts,says a new study released by the American Associationof University Women(AAUW)。  \nSome 114,000 female students with incomes less than $6,000 would lose an aver-age of $1,333 in federal student aid,according to the study based on data fromthe American Association of State Colleges and Universities(AASCU).  \nIn all,the study estimates that 630,000 of the 2.2 million women currently re-  \nceiving federal student aid would either have their aid cut or completely elim-  \ninated if Congress passes the administration's budget-cutting proposals.  \nBillion-Dollar Losse       Those student aid losses for women could mount upto $1.3 billion,the study says.Women currently receive more than half of thefederal student aid available,according to AASCU figures,with the remaindergoing to 1.9 million males.  \nPresident Reagan has proposed cutting $1.7 billion in fiscal 1986 student aid(HED,Feb.12)。The proposed budget would cut Pell Grants and Guaranteed Stu-dent Loans,tighten independent student status to exclude nearly all studentsunder age 22,impose a $4,000 yearly cap on aid and require students to con-tribute at least $800 per year toward their education,regardless of income。  \nSubsequent budget proposals have been somewhat less severe,including a planendorsed by the Reagan administration and a Senate Republican working grouplast week,but most ideas floating about the halls of Congress seem to point tosignificant cuts in student aid(HED,April 8)。  \nGreater Hardship      Although the proposal will cause hardship for all low-income people,the average woman makes less money than the average man,saidAAUW spokeswoman Mary Boyette.Thus the planned cuts raise\"serious questions\"in the minds of many college-bound women about financing education,she said.  \nAAUW President Mary Purcell noted that female-headed households have a povertyrate six times that of households headed by males,fueling a particular needfor aid to poorer women.  \n\"A single mother who is trying to improve life for herself and her children byseeking a college degree stands to lose between $1,000 and $1,500 in studentaid,\"Purcell said.\"How will such a woman with income under $6,000 a yearfill that kind of gap?\"  \nMoreover,about two-thirds of the students returning to school beyond tradi-tional college age are women,the AAUW says.(more)  \nApr1111,1985  \n# STUDY FINDS PROPOSED AID CUTS WOULD FALL HARDEST ON WOMEN(Cont.)\n\n\"Given the financial pressure these proposals will place on the American fam-1ly,we fear a return to the days when male children received first and oftenthe only opportunity to attend college,\"Purcell added.  \nThe study has prompted AAUW to begin drafting a Student Aid Equity Act.Al-though it is not completed,AAUW lobbyist Kristin Stelck says the legislationwill be designed to equalize federal student aid across gender lines.  \n\"This [financial aid report]really was the first study of its kind,\"Stelcksaid.\"It is almost impossible to get information about women and student aid.One of the things that we have found in recent weeks is that no one has beenasking questions about it.\"  \n\n|  | Impact Of Flecal 1986 Reagan Student Ald
