Eliminate Loans for Students of Families  Earning Less Than $50,000=20
March 23,  2006 =20
PHILADELPHIA -- Expanding its effort to alleviate the financial  burden on=20
low- and middle-income students and to continue attract  top students with=20
diverse economic backgrounds, the University of  Pennsylvania will provide g=
rants=20
for undergraduate students from  economically disadvantaged families with=20
incomes of $50,000 or less,  Penn President Amy Gutmann announced today.=20
This move coincides with a $6.3 million increase in the  University's=20
undergraduate financial aid budget for the coming  academic year, with those=
 funds=20
targeted to middle- and low-income  families, reaffirming Penn's commitment=20=
to=20
need-blind admissions and  meeting the full need of all students. =20
"As we outlined in the Penn Compact back in 2004, increasing  access to a=20
Penn education is a top priority," Penn President Amy  Gutmann said. "By=20
eliminating loans for low-and-middle income  students, our financial aid pro=

enables students from every  family income level to enroll at Penn. By=20
providing financial aid  packages without loans to students whose parents ea=
rn $50,000=20
or  less, we can ease their financial concerns, not only throughout  their=20
education but also after graduation, enabling them more  freedom to choose t=
he=20
most satisfying careers.=20
"With this initiative, Penn becomes the first major research  university tha=
t=20
funds the majority of its financial aid from its  operating budget to=20
eliminate loans for low- and-middle income  students," Gutmann said.=20
Penn spends more than $78 million per year out of its operating  budget on=20
financial aid.=20
In conjunction with the reductions in summer savings requirements  and=20
increases in allowances for incidental expenses for students  from low-incom=
e=20
backgrounds, which were implemented in 2005-2006,  the elimination of loans=20=
will=20
mean that the highest-need students  will each receive grant aid of more tha=
n=20

Additional grant aid for rising sophomores, juniors and seniors  was also=20
approved to moderate any self-help and/or loan increases  they might anticip=
ate.=20
The University is projecting an increase of 7.7 percent in its  need-based=20
undergraduate grants and scholarships in the coming  year.=20
>From 1997 to 2005, the percentage of the average freshman aid  package met b=
y=20
grants has increased from 68 percent to 80 percent,  while the average loan=20
as a percentage of total aid has declined  from 23 percent to 11 percent. Th=
e=20
average freshman grant increased  by 61 percent during this same period.=20
Roughly 40 percent of the University's aided freshmen will have  their need=20
met without any expected student loan in 2006-2007.=20
Penn will continue, for the seventh year, the Summer Savings  Waiver Program=

which provides grants to offset the normal summer  self-help work=20
