Percentage Decreasing

The amount of scholarship money granted
increased from $733,223 to $1,252,913 during
this same time period.

Phil Chabot, coordinator of the Student
Council Special Committee on Growth, has said
that "although the overall number of students is
increasing and the amount of aid is increasing,
the percentage of those students receiving aid is
decreasing."

Mr. Chabot said that Council concluded from
statistics that marginal aid students who might
have been receiving aid would, due to increased,
enrollment, be required to find other means of
financing their education.
