Dear Dr. Bell:
We have recently completed fieldwork on ourrreview of
the Office of Education's Basic Educational Opportunity
Grant (as-t-GrawfT program authorized by the Higher Educa-
tion Act of 1965, as amende (20 U S.C. 1070a). Our goal
was to determine how well the program is meeting ]ts legis-
lative objectives and how well the Office of Education and
participating institutions are administering it. We reviewed
the administration of the program at selected postsecondary
institutions, including Allstate Business College.
Allstate Business College, a proprietary school in
Dallas, Texas, is accredited by the Association of Independ-
ent Schools and Colleges and offers 12 courses leading to a
certificate in ousiness administration, accounting, or secre-
tarial science During the 1974-75 program year, 246 of 540
students enrolled on a full-time basis at Allstate received
Basic Grants of about $165,400. Allstate reported other stu-
dent aid disbursements of $462,100 including
--$331,100 in National Direct Student Loans;
--$89,200 in College Work-Study; and
--$41,800 in Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants.
At all of the schools we visited we reviewed the files
of selected students receiving Basic Grants. At Allstate
we randomly selected and reviewed the files of 32 of the
246 recipients for 1974-75. We also reviewed and discussed
with appropriate officials Allstate's procedures for packag-
ing student aid and its grant calculation and refund proce-
