Also, excluded are the Nursing Loan Program ($285,550 during 1998-99), a variety of grants and scholarships from fraternal organizations and clubs ($4,175,958 during 1998-99), and loans processed by the Financial Aid Office ($81,907,000 during 1998-99) for undergraduate students, graduate students, or their parents.
