X SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR ANY COLLEGIATE COURSE LEADING TO A BACCALAUREATE DEGREE OR more than 300 years, in Amer- ica, custodianship for the teaching of the fundamentals of liberty and unobscured freedom of thought and action, has been the inherent function of the independent private college. However, with the inflationary in- fluence on our economy in the past decade ; and j more, many | of the nation’s private colleges and univer- sities are now facing serious financial problems. Unless aid is forthcoming, the situation promises to get progres- sively worse. Toward solution of this problem, Pennsylvania Power & Light Com- pany has joined with other pro- gressive American businesses. The PP&L program combines provisions for aiding the colleges of this area with a plan of scholarships for de-- serving ! young people of Central Eastern Pennsylvania who otherwise might not have an opportunity to further their schooling. Now in its second year, the PP&L program provides for the establish- ment of six undergraduate scholar- ships each “year for the sons “and daughters of residents of the service area who are also customers of the Company or} its : subsidiaries. At least one of these scholarships will be made available to the son or daughter of an employee. These scholarships may be used to pursue any course of study which leads to a baccalaureate legree. Each winner will have $500 paid toward his or her tuition during the college year. A similar sum will also be paid by Pennsylvania Power & Light Company to the college “or university which the scholarship win- ner attends, to be used in whatever manner the institution believes will contribute most toward fulfillment of its educational obiectives, PENNSYLVANIA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY il
