The project reported on was the second phase of activities mandated by Section 493B of the Higher Education Amendments of 1976. That section required activities to assist in the expansion and improvement of campus student aid information services. The project had as its objectives to: (1) analyze the findings of a survey of institutional practices regarding the use of part-time financial aid counselors; (2) draft recommendations for aid administrators, students, and other interested parties; and (3) hold public meetings to secure the recommendations before submitting them to the Office of Education. At present, it was concluded, part-time personnel are used primarily for clerical purposes and not for counseling, although their use as counselors is expanding. Although there is little objection to their use, the primary obstacles seem to be salaries, training, and supervision needs. As far as aid information dissemination in general is concerned, it seems that there is insufficient information available to students, and that the nontraditional student is the most difficult to reach. Peer counseling and information dissemination may help keep the focus on student rather than institutional needs, although it should not be seen as a cure-all. It is recommended that institutions be encouraged to expand the use of part-time personnel, involve student employees in off-campus training, and, set up and manage part-time and peer counseling programs. Financial incentives are not seen as necessary at this time. (MSE)
