6 'age A 10 -The Michigan Daily --Thursday, September 5, 1985 Pell Grants increase Arborlcrnd Consumer Mall Welcomes You to the University of Michiganl (Continued from Page 1) set said the offices spent the rest of the summer adjusting the awards that were sent out last spring. THE increase mainly effects out-of- state students and students who missed the financial aid application deadline, Borset said. In-state students probably won't see an increase in their total awards because the aid office has met the needs for all in-state students, Borset said. The office estimated that in-state students have a need of $2,620 to meet educational costs. This includes $2,260 for tuition, an estimated 5 percent tuition increase for the fall. BUT BORSET said the estimated out-of-state student need is $7,410, and the aid office has only been able to meet the needs of a few out-of-state students. In-state students may receive money from Pell Grant, Borset said, but any money that exceeds their need will be taken out of any other grants they get. The increase in grant aid gives a second chance to students who han- ded in their financial aid applications late. "What we say to late applicants is that we can't do anything now, but if we have any money left over, we'll see what we can do," Borset said. SHE SAID the extra money from in- state students will be used for the late applicants. "We still can't guarantee anything, but the chances are better now that they'll at least get something." The average award increase will be between $100 and $150, but those who are supposed to receive the maximum award of $2,100 will receive as much money as it takes to reach that cap, Grotrian said. All totalled, University students will get about $240,000 more in Pell Grants, Borset said. Students receiving the grants should be notified by the middle of August. IN ADDITION to the Pell Grant in- crease, there was a great deal of financial aid activity this summer, Borset said. On the state level, the legislature appropriated $8 million more to in- crease the Michigan Competitive Scholarship Program. This permitted the state to raise the program's maximum award to $1,200 from $940. In July, the state hadn't actually passed the legislation.to increase the cap, but it did appropriate the funds. An aide to Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) said he expected the change to be passed. BUT UNLIKE the Pell Grant in- creases, students won't have much added to their awards because the Of- fice of Financial Aid anticipated the increase for the competitive scholar- ships and adjusted the awards last spring, Borset said. "That's a common question students have about financial aid," Borset said. "They read that (the gover- nment) is going to increase financial aid, so they come to school expecting us to add more money to their awar- ds. But most of the time, we've already taken the increases into ac- count when we determine their in- creases in the spring," Borset said.

Roderick Daane, the University's chief attorney said the appeal must be filed before Sept. 11 - 21 days after Stell's decision. Daane said the appeal could be withdrawn if the regents decide they do not want to pursue it. "It was felt all along, since the suit began back in 1982, that whoever was unsuccessful would appeal," said Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor). THE UNIVERSITY will "definitely" appeal, said Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline), "This is important." Roach said that he believes not challenging the suit would set a precedent threatening the Univer- sity's independence. "We can't let them tell us how to handle our funds," he said, "What people have to realize is that this is separate from the question of divestment, from the question of creation of a state work/study r program to complement the federal program - probably won't have.\, much of an impact because of the ,. small amount of money the state gave the University to start the program, ., Borset said. The state allocated $5 million for -4 the work/study program. In com- .0 parison, competitive scholarships are funded with $24 million, up from $16f million allocated last year. Other than that, Borset said, there., haven't been many changes in finan- cial aid this year. President Reagan's y efforts to cut federal financial aid were defeated by Congress, but there " haven't been any huge increases in student aid either, she said. ruling apartheid, and the question of South Africa," Baker said. "The question is the protection of the University's 1 autonomy. It affects everything front" freedom in controlling our expen-t, ditures to what we can and cannot of- fer educationally." STELL, IN a 13-page opinion, said that the University's constitutional autonomy is relevant only to. educational matters. n y "When an enactment of the legislature under its police power would impose limitations or... requirements on the regents' actions.- not within the educational sphere,, - then there is no (constitutional,, violation...," she wrote. _ She ruled other limits on the University's autonomy, such as its" waiver of government immunity from workers' compensation laws, already" exist.'
