Millions awarded to KU worthy
If you have a superior academic record and are in need of financial aid, then there is help for you.
That help comes through KU's Office of Financial Aid.
Last year the aids and awards office dished out more than $2,400,000 through various financial aid programs. About $650,000 of this amount is represented by over 1,400 scholarships. The remainder is given to students through short-and long-term loans.
TO QUALIFY FOR A SCHOLARSHIP a student must meet three requirements. He must 1) have a superior academic record, 2) be of financial need as evidenced in information provided by the scholarship applicant about his financial status and that of his parents or guardian and 3) have been a responsible participant in school and community activities.
James Gunn, director of university relations, said student's academic record is viewed in several respects. High school record is considered as well as test scores on national merit and college board exams.
"We have found no one method that is a reliable indicator," said Gunn, "but the best single indicator is previous college experience."
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE NOT LIMITED to incoming freshmen. On the contrary, upperclassmen receive most of the scholarships.
Bob Billings, director of aids and awards, estimates that 30 per cent of the awards are given to freshmen, while about 70 per cent are given to upperclassmen.
To qualify academically, an upperclassman must meet certain minimum standards.
"Normally, said Billings, "a 2.1 or 2.2 GPA would make our selective pool."
THEN THE STUDENT UNDERGOES subjective examination by Billings before being considered by faculty scholarship boards.
"I review everyone of the cases myself before passing them on to the'faculty boards," said Billings.
Billings was quick to point out the importance of extracurricular activities in the selection of scholarship winners.
AS AN EXAMPLE, he said that a student with a 2.4 GPA who has been active in extra-curricular activities would probably be given consideration over a student with a 2.8.
Having met these requirements, a KU student can become a scholarship winner. The opportunity is there.
PEANUT DIET PALLS
OXFORD, England —(UPI)— It's no more peanuts for Oxford University student Richard Lee 20, at least for a long time. To win a one pound ($2.80) he bet he nothing but peanuts for a week. He was allowed to wash down the nuts with ale but decided nevertheless that it was "nuts" to peanuts for awhile. He lost nine pounds on the diet.
