Maher C;,t holic Leadership Scholarship, avail- able to freshmen and transfer students who have demonstrated leadership in their parish, school and community. The awards range from $200 to $1,500 per year, depending on financial need and grade point average. There are also athletic grants at USO, a member of the NCAA. Most of USO sports teams are in Division One, permit- ting some 500 students to receiving athlet- ic grants. - TWO TYPES of student employ- ment, financed by t.he university and the federal government, are available; - Work-study, in which students take jobs on campus. The work is oriented to a student's major, when possible. - Off-ampus employment service, in which USO assists students in finding weekend or part-time employment. Th loan program at USO are: - Guaranteed Student Loans, which are insured by the federal government and are available through lenders such as banks. credit unions and state agencies. Qualified undergraduates may borrow up to $2,500 per year Repayment and interest (at 8 percent) begins six months after the borrower cease to be at least a half-time student. - NATIONAL DIRECT Student Loans, a federal program providing long- term low-interest (5 percent) loans to un- dergraduate and graduate students who have demonstrated financial need. Stu- dents may borrow up to ~3,000 for the first two years and up to $6,000 for their under- graduate program. USO expects students to apply for a Guaranteed Student Loan before they may be considered for a Direct Loan. Procedure for applying for financial aid is similar at two-year and four-year in- stitutions throughout the United States, Whyte reported. "Two principal agencies process the aid applications: the Ameri- can College Testing Service and the Col- lege Scholarship Service." FORMS FROM both services are available at college financial aid offices. for high school students, the best. time to apply for college financial aid is about one year ahead of time. The best month of mail applications is January, Whyte pointed out. "If you miss a deadline, even by minutes you're out ,1/ he said. ' ' .,

Student financial aid continues to take new forms, as the private sector is gradu- ally taking up the slack created by the fed- eral government's reluctance to increase its role. Herbert Whyte, director of financial aid at the Uuivecsity_gt San Diego thinks that's good, primarily because ?tudents can much more readily identify with a private business or individual than the fed- eral government." USD, a private independent university w1t_h an enrollment of about 5,300. offers a financial aid package that is represent- allvew of the assistance provided by col- leges across the nation, according to Whyte, who has worked in this field for 16 years. For more than 25 years, packaging a blend of stare, federal, institutional and private grants. scholarships and loans is the most common method used to deliver financial aid the students. An estimated 60 percent of USD's stu- dents are on financial aid, which equates to about $14 million annually, Whyte re- ported. To maintain a healthy cross-sec- tion of students, half the enrollment should be on financial aid, Whyte said. Students do not have to take the trou- ble to package their aid. It is done by gov- ernment agencies and college financial aid offices which process and evaluate ap- plications. TWO-THIRDS of the grants and schol- arships made available to colleg students is still, by far, from the federal and state governments. at USO, the largest single source of fi. nancial aid comes from the state govern- ment. More than $1.5 million in aid comes to the San Diego campus from the Califor- nia State Grants office. USO has some 500 students receiving money from this state of~ice, based on financial need and grde pomt average. The maximum award is $4,110 per student. For the financially neediest is the PELL Grant. a federal program that awards _a maximum of $2.100. This grant money 1s transferrable to any college. Also from the federal government 1s the Supplemental Educational Opportuni- ty Grant. "Only schools with complete fi. nancial aid packages offer this grant," Whyte noted. USO has 330 students receiv- ing money from the supplemental grant program. USD, as most colleges. also has its own grant and scholarship programs: - THE lJSD Scholarship, awarded to

"Kathy is a very competent, hard-working, meticulous person," he said. "She's somebody who t kes her Job very sertously." :Marinov1ch said Saxton-Calder- wood surveyed several other 3uris- d1ct1ons to try to determme the county's opllons for financing de- velopment of the downtown par- cels. He said she was good at following up when the information she was provided was incomplete. "If she wasn't sure, she'd ask questions," inovi h said. "Thal was one of her characteristics. If she didn't understand something he'd ask about it." Saxton-Calderwood has not re- turned to work since the verdict.

the faculty held her in high esteem. Rea said he was not surprised to hear that Saxton-Calderwood came forward with allegations of wrong- doing. "I would expect her to be a person of convictions." Rea said. "That fits m with her professional nature as I know it." He said Saxton-Calderwood is active in the department's honor society and recently helped organ- ize a panel discussion on the me- dia's influence on public affairs, a topic she also probed for a research paper completed last month. The honor society also staged a forum on campaign financing reforms, but Rea said he believed Saxton-Cald- erwood played only a minor role in that event.
