A common link between for eign and American students at the University of Nebraska is the need for money. According to Wayne Kuncl, foreign student adviser, it costs one foreign student ap proximately $2,200 for one year of study at the Univer sity. The student's traveling expenses to Nebraska are ex tra. This $2,200 is broken down into $800 for University resi dence halls room and board; $933 for tuition and all fees; $130 for books and insurance and $140 for personal and oth er costs. Depensents are strained There are now 131 unmar ried foreign students at t h e University and 64 married stu dents. Of the 64 married stu dents, 41 have their spouces and 37 children with them. Having dependents puts more strain on a foreign students finances. Part-time jobs cannot be re lied on to fill the money gap because of immigration laws which prohibit foreign stu dents from working during their first year in the U.S. Undergraduate foreign stu dents receive few scholarships and mainly rely on their per sonal funds to pay for their education. Receive few scholarships Of the 56 undergraduate stu dents, 28 live and study here on their personal funds. Seven studdents use both their per sonal funds and NU scholar ! ships and three students rely wholly on University scholar ships.

Technical language obstacle Lundack feels that although foreign students can converse well in conversational English, some of them have trouble in the technical language. Be cause of this language prob lem few students make the 2.75 grade point average min imum, he said. Six undergraduate foreign students support themselves through grants from the U.S Agency for International De velopment (A.I.D.). Four stu dents rely on their home gov ernment for funds, and two students combine their person al funds with home govern ment funds. The African Scholarship Program of American Univer sities supports four students here, and two students are supported by U.S. foundations. Graduates receive more aid Graduate foreign students receive more financial support than undergraduates, especi ally from the University. Forty-eight of the 139 for eign graduate students have University assistantshi which can be either research or teaching assistantships, i said James C. Olson, dean of the Graduate College. He explained that the re search assistantships. which usually range from $2000 to $3, 000 a year, are awarded by the graduate department di rectors. He added that finan cial need is not looked upon as a basis for awarding the assistantships. Teaching assistantships, Ol son said, are not awarded to a foreign student during his first year here if he comes from a country where the na tive language is not English. Offers scholarships The University also offers 10 Regents scholarships to for eign graduate studentts. These are available alter one year of study here and. according to Olson, "competition is very severe" for the scholarships.
