Willing Young
People Can Oet
Education
In today’s society there is
little reason why a young per
son bent on receiving an edu
cation cannot get one if hej
;tSi capable , and willing to
Work. America, in the words Of|
John Corey, associate director
of public affairs at Appalach-
I ian State Teachers College, is
, the “society of opportunity ”
| Evidence of opportunities
i availablet to youngsters is
brought into focus every day of
our lives. For instance, Dr.
Kenneth Webb, assistant dir
ector of student affairs at Ap
palachian State Teachers Col
, lege has just announced the
| work possibilities now ayail
i able at the college under v a
Federal grant received throu
gh the Economic Opportunity
Act of 1964.
Students may work up to
fifteen hours per week at
such jobs as: courier, assist
s ants to directors of research
and training, garage helper,
electricians’ infirmary aid,
book store clerk, teacher in
remedial education assistant
to Neighborhood Yc%th Corps
Coordinator, and many others.
These jobs vary in the am
ount of pay received. This is
adjusted in accordance .with the
type of work being performed
by the student
Students financially able to
pay for an education are not
'’considered for these jobs. In
determining whether, and to
what extent, a student is in
need .of earnings from em
ployment, the Institution takes
into consideration y several
points.
The flfafc of tiiese
"T"— msources, in
cluding other forms '
available to the student. Next,
is considered the income, as
sets and resources of the stu
dent’s family. And finally, the
institution considers the cost
reasonably necessary for the
student’s attendance at. the
school, including any special \
needs gnd obligations which
directly affect the student’s (
financial ability to attend •
school on a fall-time feasisv ,
This is tjut one opportunity j
available to students. There is ]
In this great country a system
of institutions and, organizat
ions that make loans, grants,
fellowships, assistantships, and
to. the
students *q/ch year. *
The Federal Government
realises the importance of
education and plays a major
role in providing funds for
lho& with* the intelligence
drive to get $n education.
It is up to the student or pot
ential student to check v con
cerning the oportunitie* avail
able to him- He must come to
see that very -seldom does an
organization or an institution
contact and secure funds that
are available for hia use In
obtaining an education. Oppor
tunities are everywhere and
students should cash in on
them. *
