VALEDICTORIANS AND DELINQUENTS
Can Movies Influence the Success, Failure, and Incarceration of Young American Adults?
By Gunjana Pandey, GGWC
The Graduate College through its Graduate Grant Writing Center is pleased to inaugurate a new program
in which graduate students with outstanding research projects and scholarly papers, posters etc will be
invited to share them with the campus community in specially organized lecture sessions, hosted by
GGWC and the college and presented by the student(s). The first such presentation is Valedictorians and
Delinquents, a research project conducted by doctoral students in the College of Education and Human
Resources.
VALEDICTORIANS AND DELINQUENTS

Research and Presentation Team
Jesse Bach
Carly Evans
Carrie Love
Margaret Schauer
Overview: The presentation will bring to light the perception of people higher up in power on urban and
sub-urban resident children, which is highly influenced by the Hollywood. He believes that movies are not
just a form of entertainment but a form of power. They usually depict urban residents as being
destructive, while the sub-urban residents are portrayed with a positive outlook. Movies have an influence
on the population on a large scale. Unlike the prevalent belief that the people higher up the social strata
have the power to influence, he believes that every individual, in their own capacity, possess such power.
What to expect from the presentation: In Jesse‘s language, the presentation is ‗not a normal grad
level presentation,‘ in it, movie clips that use vivid and intense imageries are shown. These imageries
being drug use, violence, and even the use of profane languages, which have been extracted from the
most acclaimed movies of Hollywood. Such a drastic display had to be included in the presentation to
paint an accurate picture of the influence movies can have on the society. Apart from creating awareness,
this presentation is also geared towards helping teachers overcome the negative perceptions that has
been engrained in us. The presentation aims to showcase various perspectives on the same issue, which is
brought about by the different members in the team.
Motivation/Inspiration: As a high school teacher in urban residence area, Jesse noted that many
students either ended up in jail or coffin. He also noted that some students excelled despite being raised
just a mile apart. Jesse Bach and his team will be presenting on the 27th of February on ―Valedictorians
and Delinquents: Can Movies Influence the Success, Failure, and Incarceration of Young American Adults?‖
This is a joint presentation for the College of Graduate Studies, Graduate Grant Writing center, College of
Education and Human Services (COEHS) and the Graduate Student Association.
Summary: Films relay culture on a massive level and, as such, may be directly responsible for increasing
stereotype effect and poor self-efficacy among urban students. Racial minorities, urban residents, and
individuals of lower socioeconomic status are often portrayed in a negative fashion within film; thus,
negatively influencing students‘ overall self-concept. The teacher-practitioner, as directly responsible for
the education and socialization of youth, has a responsibility to investigate varying practices and
interventions to ensure that students envision themselves and their associated racial, ethnic, and
socioeconomic group in a positive manner. Through readily available resources, the teacher-practitioner
can counter the negative imager, as shown in film, increasing self concept and self-efficacy while
decreasing the stereotype effect of the student.

FEDERAL STUDENT AID
By Gunjana Pandey, GGWC
URL: http://studentaid.ed.gov/types
The Department of Education has revamped its website to make it easier for consumers to locate
information on the various forms of financial aid available to students and families.
The new web site is the online presence of Federal Students Aid: An Office of the Department of
Education. While much of the pot of federal college aid dollars is aimed at Undergraduate Education,
there is still a respectable amount of aid that Graduates can access.
Types of Aid Offered:
 Grants and Scholarships: Grants and scholarships are often called ―gift aid‖ because they are
free money—financial aid that doesn‘t have to be repaid. Grants are often need-based, while
scholarships are usually merit-based.
o Types of Grants offered:
1. Federal Pell Grants: Available to undergraduate students who are still in school,
with some exceptions. The maximum amount awarded under the Federal Pell grant is
$5,550 for FY 2013. The amount awarded will depend on, financial need, cost of
attendance, student status (full-time or part-time), and the student‘s plan to attend
school (for a full academic year or less).
2.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG): These are
administered by the Financial Aid office at each school/university. The monetary
grants awarded range from $100-$4,000 a year. The amount awarded will depend
on, financial need, time of application, amount of other aids received, availability of
funds at CSU.
3.
Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH)
Grant: This grant helps undergrad, post baccalaureate, graduate students pay for
college if they plan on becoming a teacher in high-need field in a low income area.
The maximum amount provided under this grant is $4,000 per year. A TEACH Grant
Agreement to Serve is required to be signed before the award money is received. In
8
case a violation of contract, all the grant money will be converted to Direct
Unsubsidized Loan (see below for more information on loans). The recipient must
meet certain academic criteria to be eligible for the award.
4.

Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant: This grant is available to students whose
parents or guardian was a member of the US armed force s and died as a result of
military service performed in Iraq or Afghanistan after the event of 9/11. Also, the
student must have been under 24 years old or enrolled in college at least part-time
at the time of their parent‘s or guardian‘s death. The maximum amount available to
be awarded is $5,550 for FY 2013. A student can be eligible either for this grant or
the Federal Pell grant (see above), but not both.
Loans: You must repay your loan, so be sure you understand your options and responsibilities.
Student loans can come from the federal government or from private sources such as a bank or
financial institution. Loans made by the federal government, called federal student loans, usually
offer borrowers lower interest rates and have more flexible repayment options than loans from
banks or other private sources.
Federal Loan: A federal loan should be considered an investment in the future, the interest
rate on such loans is almost always much lower than on private loans. For most of the federal
loans, a credit check or a co-signer is not needed, and the repayment can start after the
student graduates (or drops out of school).
1. William D. Federal Direct Loan (aka Direct Loan): Under this, the Department of
Education (DOE) is the lender, therefore, it is the largest loan program in the US
There are four types of direct loans available:
a. Direct Subsidized loans: available to undergrad students based on their
financial needs.
b. Direct Unsubsidized loans: available to undergrad, grad, or professional
students, need not demonstrate financial need. For grad students, the
maximum amount allowed to be borrowed is $20,500 under this program.
NOTE: For undergraduate students, the amount allowed to be borrowed on
both direct subsidized and direct unsubsidized loans is limited to a range of
$5,500-$12,500 per year.
c. Direct PLUS Loans: available to graduate or professional students and parents
of dependent undergraduate students to help pay for education expenses not
covered by other financial aid.
d. Direct Consolidation Loans: allows students to combine all the eligible federal
student loans with a single loan provider. Therefore, one single payment can
be made instead of multiple payments.
2.
3.
Federal Perkins Loan is a school based program for grads and undergrads with
exceptional financial need. The school is the lender under this program. Students are
allowed to borrow up to $5,500 per year for the undergrads and $8,000 for the
grads.
Direct PLUS Loan: These loans are available to graduate or professional degree
students and parents of dependent undergraduate students, where the proceeds can
be used to help pay for education expenses. Like other loans, these loans are also
made through schools. A fixed interest of 7.9% will be charged for FY 2013. To
obtain a Direct PLUS loan, the following criterion must be met:
a. The borrower (the parent in case of a dependent undergraduate student)
must not have an adverse credit history.
b. The borrower must either be a grad/professional degree student enrolled in
at least for 6 credit hours at CSU in a undergrad, grad or law degree, or be
the parent (biological, adoptive, or in some cases, stepparent) of a dependent
undergraduate student enrolled at least 6 credit hours. For more information
on the eligibility requirement, please visit http://studentaid.ed.gov/eligibility.
9
Applying for a Federal Loan: To apply for a federal loan, students need to fill out the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is available on the DOE website
(http://studentaid.ed.gov/types/loans). It should be noted that CSU will provide students
with a financial aid offer.
Private vs. Federal Loan: There are certain advantages of federal loan over private loan.
For example, repayment of a federal loan starts 6 month after graduation, dropping out of
school, or enrolling in less than 6 credit hours. Most private student loans are required to be
repaid while students are still in school. Interest on a federal loan is usually fixed and much
lower (lower than interest on credit cards). Private interest rates vary; some are even
higher than 18%.

Federal Work-Study (FWS): A federal work-study allows students to work part-time and earn
money to support their educational needs. The program mainly encourages community service
work, and work related to student‘s course of study. A student can obtain employment at the
school/university, private nonprofit organization or a public agency. Private for-profit employers are
allowed for work-study only if the work performed is relevant to the student‘s course of study.
To be eligible for a federal work-study, a student can be either in a part-time or a full-time
status. Students interested in applying for the FWS must apply early, as it is awarded on a firstcome-first serve basis. The number of hours worked are limited and are assigned by the employer
or the school‘s financial aid office based on the student‘s class schedule and academic progress.
