FAP671: College costs, FAFSA tips for the end of the year, Charlie Crowe Listen now: Student Financial Aid News + Inside Higher Ed: With debate over college costs intensifying, a report being issued today is likely to infuriate higher education leaders. Over Invested and Over Priced: American Higher Education Today is from the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, and charges that additional government funds for colleges support frills that don t support education or economic growth — items like fancy recreation facilities, larger university bureaucracies, and higher salaries for personnel. The center is led by Richard Vedder, who was a member of the Spellings Commission. + Short summary of the 12 reasons why college costs are spiraling out of reach - colleges are non-profit, which means greater operational inefficiencies and a lesser focus on bottom line profits and efficiency + While financial aid and student loans are not explicitly mentioned, they are counted in the overall reason for college costs + Chronicle: Americans aren t just reading fewer books, but are reading less and less of everything, in any medium. That s the doleful conclusion of To Read or Not to Read, a report scheduled for release today by the National Endowment for the Arts. + Unlike the 2004 study, To Read or Not to Read examined not just literary reading but all kinds of reading, including online. And it tapped a far wider range of sources, notably statistics from the Department of Education and the Department of Labor, as well as academic and corporate studies. + None of it adds up to good news for the written word. Just how reading-averse have Americans become? In 2006, the study found, 15-to-24-year-olds spent just seven minutes on voluntary reading on weekdays— 10 minutes on Saturdays and Sundays. They found time to watch two to two-and-a-half hours of television daily. + Older and presumably wiser— or at least more bookish— generations didn t do much better. In 2006 people ages 35 to 44 devoted only 12 minutes a day to reading. Even the best-read group, Americans 65 and older, logged less than an hour each weekday and just over an hour on weekends. Scholarship Update + Anne Matt Harbison Scholarship + In keeping with the goals of P. Buckley Moss, who struggled with dyslexia during her school years, this grant represents the artist s dedication to the field of special education. Students with a learning disability often graduate from high school with no recognition of their hard work and perseverence toward achieving their academic, technical, or artistic goals. When a student does attain and surpass expectations, there is often no extrinsic reward or incentive. The P. Buckley Moss Society - Anne and Matt Harbison Scholarship is intended to help fill that void. + $1,500 scholarship to one high school senior with a certified language-related learning difference who is pursuing post-secondary education * Renewable for up to three additional, consecutive years * Applications must be postmarked no later than March 31 + Details at our free college scholarship search site Focus on Financial Aid + FAFSA season is coming up + If there s one number you need to understand for the FAFSA, it s your IRS 1040 Adjusted Gross Income + Things to do now + Pay down consumer debts as best as you can + Try to avoid carrying credit card debt into the new year + Cash on hand will impact your financial aid, so minimize it through paying down debt + Take a look at form 8917 - tuition and fees deduction. This is an either/or with the tax credits, but remember that any above the line deduction will also impact financial aid - so do the math carefully + If you have an IRA, make the maximum contribution you can, or as much as you can afford within reason + If you re paying student loan interest, make sure you re keeping your statements Podsafe Music + Ha!
