PublicationDate: 9/1/96 Summary: ED's Supply of 1996-97 Student Guides Exhausted Author: PTAS - Policy / Training / And Analysis Service The Department has exhausted its supply of 9 million 1996-97 Student Guides and will now fill orders from postsecondary schools with copies of a similar publication entitled "Funding Your Education." The following letter is being sent to all schools who have recently ordered Student Guides: September 1996 Dear Colleague, Thank you for your recent order of 1996-97 Student Guides. We have exhausted our supply of this publication. However, we still have remaining copies of Funding Your Education, a shorter publication that is very similar in design and content. (Funding Your Education was distributed to high schools this year, as an entry-level version of the Student Guide.) Because the new version of the Student Guide will be available this fall, we have chosen not to reprint the 1996-97 edition, but will instead fill your order with Funding Your Education. We regret any inconvenience this may cause, but we believe that Funding Your Education will meet most of the information needs of your students. You will be able to order the 1997-98 version of the Student Guide in September, and we expect the Guide to be printed and distributed in November. When ordering the Guide, please limit your order to no more than the number of student aid applicants whom you expect to enroll at your institution. We printed 9 million copies of the 1996-97 Student Guide for postsecondary use, and we expect to print the same number of copies for 1997-98. We believe that 9 million copies is a reasonable and sufficient quantity of Guides to distribute to postsecondary student aid applicants. Please bear in mind that we are also distributing 4 million copies of Funding Your Education to high school seniors who are considering postsecondary education. We will need the continued assistance and cooperation of all postsecondary schools to reduce duplicative distributions, so that we can continue to offer these free materials to students who need financial assistance to continue their education. Sincerely, William J. Ryan Director, Training and Program Information Division |
