"The act specified family resources as being $450 which the student must provide for himself, and in addition a contribution from the parents. "The American College Testing program at Iowa City, Iowa, one of the nation's two recognized financial needs analysis agencies, processed the family financial statements. "It was which made the objective determination as to how much parents should be expected to contribute toward a year's college expenses." Schrader said the 1,007 grant offers "covered students whose parents could contribute zero to up to $50." Schrader said another 176 students are being notified that they are alternates. He said these are students whose parents could contribute between $50 and 50 per year to their child's education, based on the financial statement analysis.

"Some of the students who are offered grants will not qualify because they will stay out of school or will attend an ineligible college," said Schrader.
