ship program. It was annonuced
by Henry T. Heaid, president of
the Foundation, at the opening
of the American Alumni Coun
cil annual meeting in Denver.
(Note; The National Merit
Scholarship Corporation, Evans
ton, Illinois, is making a simul
taneous announcement.)
The new program -- known
as the National Achievement
Scholarships .- will provide
about 200 four-year sciiolar
ships a year to promising Negrt)
high-school graduate at the col
lege of their choice. In addition,
Mr. Heaid said, the program
"seeks to draw attention to a
large group of talented Negro
young people in every part of
the country.”
Thus, it is expected to operate
like the Merit Scholarship pro
gram, in which not only the
winners (9,100 to date) but many
more semifinalists (86,000) are
regarded by colleges, universi
ties, and other financlal-aid
sources as a reservoir of care
fully identified talent.
The program is an effort to
overcome rapidly the motiva
tional and economic barriers to
higher education for Negroes,
Mr. Heaid said. The goiH eventu
ally, he said, “might l>e defin
ed as the day wi^en Negroes can
win academic recognition in
parity with othSr young people,
and actually no longer need
ipeclal st^olfrEhlp programs.”
