• If enrollment fees go down to 13 Q, federal
  tuition sensitivity will reduce Pell Grants to
  low-income students
  
• All federal attention is on Stafford Loans new
  fixed interest rate and higher annual amounts.
  Need to advocate for higher grant amounts,
  especially for first two years of college.
• BFAP funding follows BOG/Pell recipients. As
  Southern CA grows and Northern CA shrinks, we may
  have a problem maintaining funding.
  
• Complication of federal application process
  continues to drive away low-income families from
  applying. Still difficult for some to get
  cooperation from parents after age of 18.
