Also excluded are the Nursing Loan Program ($164,100 during 2001-2002), a variety of grants and scholarships from fraternal organizations and clubs ($4,992,877 during 2001-2002), and loans processed by Student Financial Services ($77,030,407 during 2001-2002) for undergraduate students, graduate students, or their parents.
