| Student loan rate, financial aid up slightly
The engrossed budget proposal the state House of Representatives released at the end of March includes $8 million for college financial aid, an increase of $3 million from the previous school year.
It still didn't meet the $13.4 million requested by Gov. Janet Napolitano and the Arizona Board of Regents.
"Our goal was to make sure that the state funded student financial aid at least to the statutory level," said Tiffany N. Troidl, government affairs director for the Arizona Students' Association.
Additionally, interest rates on existing variable-rate student loans will jump by .08 percent by the end of the summer.
Federal statutes caused the increase, said Beth Gerard, a representative from Sallie Mae, a leading college-loan agency.
