Area Ten School Expands Aid as Enrollment Outpaces Funds
Calvin Hershner, Area Ten's financial aid coordinator, reported about 21 thousand dollars in aid in the first quarter for roughly 10 percent of full time students across Vocational Technical and Arts and Science divisions. Federal loans and grants dominate the budget of twenty two thousand five hundred sixty seven dollars, with private sources adding thirteen hundred fifty and a five hundred dollar loan fund from Link Belt Speeder Company for selected programs. Hershner warned that funds for the second and third quarters are likely insufficient as enrollment exceeds expectations and living costs burden students.
