Students from middle-income families
should now find it easier to obtain guaranteed
student loans from banks, savings and loan
associations and other commercial lenders.
On April 18, President Nixon signed into
law a resolution reopening the guaranteed
loan program to the segment of the popula
tion which the loans were initially designed
to assist. The new regulations will become
effective on June 3, 1974, and will enable
lending institutions to help middle-income
families without having to make a cumber
some analysis of the families’need.
New regulations, the result of agreement
on the part of the U.S. House of Representa
tives and the U.S. Senate with the Report of
the Joint House-Senate Conference Com
mittee on House Resolution 12253, restore
much of the decision-making process to the
lending institutions.
Under the new law, all students from
families having an adjusted family income of
under $15,000 are automatically eligible for
a subsidized loan of not more than limits set
by GHEAC: $1500 per academic year for
undergraduate students and $2000 for gra
duate students per academic year. Thus, the
subsidized loan program is returned to the
simpler loan program of prior years, with
the $15,000 adjusted family income cutoff
level.
