In a joint announcement,
Walter A. Fallon, chairman and
chief executive officer, and
Colby H. Chandler, president,
said: “More than 850 in
stitutions have shared in some
$65 million in Kodak aid to
education since the company’s
program was formalized in
1955. While elements of the
Kodak program have changed
in response to the changing
needs of higher education, its
goal remains the same. That is,
to help our institutions of higher
learning fulfill their obligations
to students and to the nation,
with society as the principle
beneficiary. Kodak grants for
1978 continue the company’s
commitment to quality
education and to academic
excellence.”
Through the company’s 1978
Educational Aid Program, 311
institutions of higher learning
are sharing a total of $3.9
million in Kodak grants. The
grants are financed from the
company’s current earnings
and from funds previously set
aside for the purpose.
Kodak’s Educational Aid
Program includes research
grants to assist and encourage
education at the master’s and
doctoral level in selected
disciplines, special grants to
help institutions revise and
interrelate their academic
programs to keep pace with
changing times, grants to
education associations that
further the goals of quality
education, and the Kodak
Scholars Program designed to
support and encourage ex
cellence in education.
