Development fund names goals
for loan, scholarship campaign
By JjMMIE LYNCH
,  Community Affairs Editor
(Editor's note: This is the third in a
series of articles examining the five areas
to which money raised by the One Point
Five campaign will be directed.)
With the cost of education increasing
yearly, the need for scholarship and loan
programs has greatly increased. To
help ease the money situation, ihe Development Fund has set a goal of $150,000
for the Student Loan and'Scholarship
segment of the One Point Five campaign.

"There's always a need for scholarship
and loan funds," said Jim Wojcik, assistant director of the Development Fund,,
"and even more so in the present day
because of the state of the economy.
"With inflation, the cost of education
has risen considerably," he continued.
"The programs are no longer just for
low income families, but also those in
the middle income bracket."
According to Wojcik, 42 percent of the
students at Central last year received
some type of loan or scholarship. Of
the total income for financial aids last
year, federal support * accounted for 29
percent. State supported programs
accounted for 48 percent. Established
University programs accounted for an
additional 23 percent. Only seven-tenths
percent came from newly endowed
scholarships, trusts and private donations. Wojcik said about 20 to 30 percent
of the money coming in from the'campaign is for established programs.
If contributors/don't find a program
to their liking they may establish their
own scholarship or loan funds, he added.
A $10,000 donation would be required if
a person would wish to have a scholarship fund named after an individual. The
same amount is required for naming a
long term revolving loan fund. A short
term revolving loan fund requires only
$500. /. . *
"What we as a Development Office
would like to see is the majority of this
money go into loan funds," said Wojcik.
"The students could borrow on it at low
interest rates and pay it back after
graduation. That way the money is kept
in constant Use by as many students as
possible," he continued.
The Development Office has a financial
aids program of its own, in the form of
a scholarship which is awarded each year
to an outstanding high school graduate.
The scholarship may be maintained for
four years if the student sustains a
high academic level.
