FAP842: Illegal downloads of textbooks, Free Stuff Friday Listen now: Student Financial Aid News + Boston Globe: Faced with soaring prices for textbooks, cash-strapped students have discovered a tempting, effective, but illicit alternative - pirated electronic books, available for free over the Internet. + It s not just textbooks that are being downloaded improperly. Ed McCoyd, director of digital policy at the Association of American Publishers in New York, said a survey in May located about 1,100 titles available illegally online, including novels and books on current events. + But textbook piracy is particularly seductive, McCoyd said, because students are often hard-pressed to pay for academic books that can cost more than $100, three times the price of most other books. + Well duh. College is more expensive than ever, the economy s in the toilet, and every other expense is through the roof. What did you expect? + The Student Loan Network does not condone infringement of intellectual property, but stay tuned in August for our cheap textbooks eBook + Inside Higher Ed: Undersecretary of Education Sara Tucker’s plan, students would find out almost immediately after submitting their much shorter federal student aid application — truncated to just 9 questions from the current 102 — exactly how much federal grant, subsidized and unsubsidized loan and tax break funds they would qualify for, based on their adjusted gross income and number of family members. (Right now students find out at that stage, usually in January or February, only how much their family is expected to contribute, which may discourage rather than encourage students to go to college, Tucker said.) The awards would be indexed based on an as-yet-undetermined formula — something like the average cost of attendance at a four-year public institution, for instance — that would essentially set a maximum amount of federal aid for which a student could qualify. + The sources of federal aid would be greatly streamlined. Federal grant aid, which now flows through about a dozen programs (and rising), would be consolidated into just the Pell Grant Program, providing an additional $1.7 billion that would increase the maximum grant by $370, Tucker said. (No Perkins Loans, no Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, no SMART Grants.) What the student loan program would look like is unclear, Tucker said, given the recent turmoil in that sphere. Work study and education tax breaks would continue to be part of aid packages, the latter particularly for upper-income students. + Still some work to be done, but that s some progress Scholarship Update + Show Us Your Art Scholarship + Submit a picture of a drawing, painting or other mixed media project of your original work for a chance to win $1,000 scholarship.

FAP841: Read your student loan applications before you sign Listen now: Student Financial Aid News + Star Tribune: A class-action lawsuit has been filed against St. Paul-based student lender Northstar Higher Education for allegedly breaking its contract with student borrowers. + The suit, filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, says the lender broke its contract by eliminating its T.H.E. Repayment Bonus a 0.75 percentage point interest-rate reduction to cope with the credit crunch. + While Northstar might be facing financial difficulties comparable to other banking institutions, this does not provide it with carte blanche to breach its contractual obligations, said the suit, which is seeking monetary damages and contractual interest-rate reductions for anyone who had a loan with Northstar on Feb. 18. The suit was filed on behalf of plaintiff Jennifer So of California by the law firm of Kabateck Brown Kellner. + Northstar has yet to receive a copy of the complaint. But in a statement, General Counsel Mark Lindgren said: Northstar takes its obligations to its customers seriously and believes it has fully complied with the terms of its agreements. In particular, Northstar has always sought to provide its customers with the benefits from the T.H.E. Bonus but has never guaranteed that the bonus would be available under any and all market conditions. + Borrower benefits are never part of the promissory note - read it carefully + Always, always, always READ a contract before you sign it + There might be a clause in there about your first-born child, and it s legally binding Scholarship Update + Brickfish Honest Foods Ad Scholarship + Design an Honest Foods magazine ad and your layout could be the inspiration for all the company s marketing materials.

PlusFannie, Freddie Rescue Pushes Housing AidFannie, Freddie Rescue Pushes Housing AidThe Associated PressA foreclosure aid plan that was facing a sluggish trip through Congress has a powerful new engine behind it: the Bush administration's urgent request to rescue mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. (July 14)(Markets file, housing file, Fannie) With fresh turmoil in financial markets, and the housing slump upending another financial institution, the Bush administration's moving aggressively to shore up mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.(Bernanke) To quiet investor fears about the two, it's told Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to extend the pair a line of credit, and told Congress it wants to authority to buy up some of their shares. PAULSON SOT: "We must take steps to address the current situation as we move toward a stronger regulatory structure." FONT: Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson(Fannie file) Between them, Fannie and Freddie either own or guarantee HALF of America's mortgages, but their shares have been clobbered by fears they're low on cash. ANALYST SOT: "The biggest part of that move down, is because investors were getting concerned they were going to need to raise capital and they really didn't know how they were going to do that." FONT: Art Hogan, Chief Market Analyst, Jefferies and Company And the White House is hopeful Congress will move quickly on it.PERINO SOT: (14:30 from start) ... because we think this is urgent pieces of legislation that need to get done and that will be important for increasing confidence and stability in the market. (Fed file, housing file) The moves came as the Fed approved new lending rules aimed at thwarting the aggressive practices that fueled the sub-prime mortgage mess...(IndyMac exteriors - FONT THE LOCATION) ... and as a California bank swamped by bad loans re-opened under new management: Uncle Sam's. Officials says it's business as usual at IndyMac Bank, but customers remain worried after second-biggest financial institution failure yet. INDMOS(Standup close) What's unclear is whether the lifeline for the two mortgage giants and the Fed's new lending rules go far enough to calm markets AND homeowners. And then there's something NOBODY can know right now: whether the slumping housing market has yet hit bottom.MS, AP, WH Author: AssociatedPress Keywords: fannie mae_freddie_mac freddie rescue pushes housing aid Added: July 14, 2008

Image via Wikipedia FAP838: Student loans and bank failures Listen now: Student Financial Aid News + IndyMac Bank failed over the weekend, taken over by the FDIC. + NASFAA: After rushing to enact a law that makes it easier for students to obtain more federal student loans, Congressional leaders and lobbyists for for-profit colleges may now be close to a deal to help those colleges avoid an unintended result of that new law, The Chronicle of Higher Education reports. The parties are seeking a measure to keep the colleges from running afoul of the requirement that at least 10 percent of their revenue comes from nonfederal sources. The colleges have been concerned about the requirement, known as the 90-10 rule, ever since Congress this past spring raised the limits on the amounts students may borrow under federal loan programs. One option under discussion would allow the colleges to temporarily treat the $2,000 of newly allowed loan funds as part of their 10 percent. + Bloomberg via NASFAA: Five months after the collapse of the $330 billion auction-rate securities market, bonds backed by student loans show no signs of recovering, Bloomberg News reports. The $85 billion of auction-rate securities sold by state agencies and private lenders to finance student loans are emerging as the most toxic type since Wall Street dealers abandoned the auction-rate market in February amid worries about the financial health of the bond insurers who guaranteed the debt. The collapse of the auction-rate market compounded the financial problems for lenders after Congress last year cut the subsidies it makes to those who sell bonds backed by federally guaranteed loans. + U Ohio: Ohio Governor Ted Strickland today signed an executive order establishing The Ohio GI Promise, which changes Ohio’s residence requirements to allow all veterans of the U.S. Armed Services, their spouses, and dependents who choose to attend Ohio colleges and universities to do so at in-state tuition rates.

FAP837: Review of the NASFAA National Conference, Free Stuff Friday Listen now: Student Financial Aid News + A review of the NASFAA national conference in depth + A longer than normal show Scholarship Update + Scholarship Points, kids. + Scholarship Search Secrets eBook. + PodCamp Boston scholarships Free Stuff Friday + I d encourage everyone, regardless of whether you re a student or not, to actively research cost-saving options for fuel and food. Take a look at community supported agriculture (CSAs) in your area - you may find a community farm that will save you significantly over the grocery store. + If you use oil heat, ask your furnace manufacturer if your heater can accept a mix of fuel oil and waste vegetable oil, or even straight waste vegetable oil, which could save you hundreds, even thousands, of dollars this winter. + For those families with fireplaces, investigate the potential cost savings of a wood stove fireplace insert, which will let you burn firewood instead of propane, natural gas, or oil. + Consider alternate modes of transportation - Matthew Ebel has recently highlighted a conversion kit for a bicycle for $1,000 that will transform a regular bicycle into an electric vehicle, which could be practical for those with relatively short commutes. If your budget permits, consider a hybrid vehicle; at the least, reduce your driving and inflate your tires to the maximum safe pressure. + Be mindful of your other utilities as well. Use power strips with off switches to prevent appliances like DVD players from consuming electricity unnecessarily. If you have access to your toilet tank, put a fist-sized rock in the tank to reduce the amount of water used per flush. If you find that your toilet performs satisfactorily, replace the rock with a brick or sealed, water-filled glass bottle to further reduce the water used per flush. + Make liberal use of free entertainment. Your local library has likely evolved quite a bit since your early childhood days, and if you haven t been back recently, you may be surprised at what you ll find. Local libraries often have significant CD and DVD collections which you can borrow for free or at nominal cost - my local library charges $1 per week for hit movies, and no charge for CDs and non-fiction DVDs, including past seasons of popular TV shows. + There s tons of free entertainment online - download popular podcasts like the TED conference for some videos that will blow away anything you can find on television, plus thousands and thousands of other great shows. There s still lots of free wireless to be found at places like public libraries, some fast food and coffee shops, and other locales. You can find great audio and video all over the place, and if you download it onto a laptop, you can take it home with you and watch it with the entire family. + Check out the events section for your town on popular event sites like Craigslist, Upcoming, and Eventful, as you may find terrific local music festivals and other community activities that are free. Many unconferences such as BarCamp and PodCamp are free, and those that charge may have scholarships for students to attend. + Your town may have lots of free stuff you don t even know about. In the town I live in, there s a weekly events calendar which is poorly organized and poorly publicized, but has lots of great events and activities on it, from free play groups for kids to free movie nights, and many other free or very low cost activities. Your tax dollars already go to support these activities, so make sure you check out your town s municipal web site. + Check out the Friday episodes of the Financial Aid Podcast, where we highlight every week a bunch of free stuff online and offline that can save you significant money.
