AAUW and Rotary
Offer Loan Funds
During the 'past several years a
number of scholarship loan and emer
gency funds have been available to
regional college students. It has been
noted that applications for these va
rious funds have been few not be
cause their assistance could not have
been useful, but because most of the
regional students have not been in
formed as to the opportunities and
assistance they can derive from the
generosity of local organizations.
At present a great amount of col
lege enrollments is comprised of war
veterans whose education is paid by
the government. When the G.I. Bill
terminates for many veterans, out
side assistance may be required to
help them in completing the last
years of their educations. For this
reason it would prove useful to those
confronted with this problem or
other similar ones to keep in mind
these various organizations.
Rotary Loa n
The local Rotary Loan Fund,
headed by Bruce Lamont, has been
advantageous to local college stu
dents who met with emergencies du
ring their last year of School. Applic
ation for the benefits of this fund is
available to any senior who has met,
with a problem serious enough to
hinder completion of his courses. Ap
lications are considered by the hoard
of directors of Rotary.
AAUW Aid
The regional branch of the
.AAUW, whose present scholarship
chairman is Mrs. Martin Corrigan,
offers opportunities to local girls
whose financial difficulties have im
peded their education. The main ob
jective of this fund is to increase the
number of women graduate s
throughout the region. This scholar
