ture at The Pennylvimia State
University, beginning with the
1969 Fall Term, Dean Russell E.
Larson, said.
He pointed out that at least
four more disadvantaged stud-
ents will be assisted in each of
the three succeeding academic
years as well
Each student, Dean Larson
added, will be assured of the
basic financial assistance he may
need if he maintainsacademic'
standards for continuing enroll
ment in college and until he
reaches the educational goal.
This goal may be a four-year
baccalaureate program, two-year
associate degree curriculum,
winter course, or short course.
Many faculty members already
have indicated their willingness
to serve as tutors and advisors,
so that any of these students
who need remedial instruction
or supplemental academic help
in starting their college educa
tions can be given this kind of
educational assistance.
Dr. Jerome K. Pasta, associate
dean for resident education, will
supervise this academic program
for college-age youth, which will
require intensive identification
and recruitment of potentially
disadvantaged young people who
sincerely wish to gain an educa
tion and become gainfully em
ployed after completion. of their
college careers.
Assisting Dr. Pasta in recruit
ment on a part-time basis will
be Dr. William L. Henson, ad
junct assistant professor of agri
cultural economics, who will tra
vel throughout the Commonweal
th to interview applicants for
need and admissibility.
To underwrite the program,
fund's will be made available
from several sources: college
scholarship funds, grants from
the agricultural students assist
ance fund, wage monies for em
ployment of students on an hour
ly basis by various departments,
and loans from college loan
funds.
A maximum of $36,000 annual
ly can be made available from
these resources to initiate and
continue assistance for these de
serving students, Dr. Pasta com
mented.
