Loans, Scholarships Enable Many To Study . . occiirnv haxed on financial need. Competitive Honor Schotoshlpa MURFREESBORO - Student loans and scholarships enable many worthy students at Chowan College to continue their hl^er education without having to sacri fice too much of their study time for outside employment. Since 1959 Chowan College has participated in the National De fense Student Loan Program. Ben C Sutton, Chowan’s business manager, reveals that about 500 students have been granted loans through this program. ‘Included in these,” he explains, ‘‘arecom- mitments which we have made to 85 students for the fall semester, and we will have loaned in excess of $60,000, to these students. The Guaranteed Student Loan Program, in which Chowan Col lege also participates, is admin istered by the College Founda tion, Inc., headquartered in Ra leigh. Forty students are bor rowing almost $30,000 through this program to pursue their edu cation at Chowan this fall. The State Education Assistance Au thority, a new division of the Board of Higher Education of the state of North Carolina, Is also working to find other resources of financial aid for students. ‘On either loan, while the stu dent takes a full college load of studies there is either no inter est charged to the student, or the interest Is paid by the federal government,” reports Mr. Sut ton. He also reports, "Interest begins to be charged at three per cent, nine months after the bor rower ceases to be a full-time student.” Education Funds, Inc., a pri vate agency in Providence, R. L, lends money at five per cent in terest, allowing the student to meet college expenses onabudg- et plan. This fall 38 students are taking advantage d the opportun ity afforded by this lending agen cy and borrowing about $20,700. Chowan College employs 140 students, with the monthly pay roll to these students amounting to $3,500. These students work at various jobs on campus, as aides to Chowan’s faculty and admin istration, In the cafeteria, as laboratory assistants and at num erous other tasks which assist In the operation of Chowan Col lege. Chowan College also awards a scholarship of $150 to every bon- aflde resident of North Carolina, thus helping lessen the expense at education to them. Through its Competitive Honor Scholarship Program, adminis tered by the Scholarship Com mittee, Chowan College offers financial assistance to 23 out standing students each year. These scholarships are not nec essarily based on financial need, but need will be considered as one factor. Primary emphasis is upon the demonstration of aca demic ability, motivation and seriousness of purpose.
