1967-1968 Academic Catalog

24 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS Academic scholarships are available to students who have demonstrated academic ability and a definite financial need. These scholarships are for varying amounts and also provide an opportunity of employment with the College. The scholarships are awarded on a quarter basis with a minimum of a 3.0 academic average required for renewal. Christian character, service, and co– operation are also considered in awarding these scholarships. Athletic grants-in-aid are available for qualified athletes. Inquiries should be addressed to the Athletic Director. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT Although not able to guarantee employment, Cedarville College assists needy students by securing them part-time employment, both on the campus and in surrounding communities. The College has students employed in various part-time jobs on campus. These opportunities include work as secretaries, bookstore clerks, library assistants, campus maintenance, cafeteria assistants, laboratory assistants, and printshop assistants. Employment also has been secured in the surrounding area in retail stores, factories, offices, on farms, and work for private individuals. Part-time work is important not only for financial assistance but also for providing practical job training for the student. The experience gained from these jobs is useful when the student leaves the college to apply for full-time employment. Although part-time student employment is not restricted to upperclassmen, freshmen should work only in the case of necessity. At least the first quarter of the freshman year should be devoted to study and to adjustment to college life. Students who must work more than 20 hours a week should not plan to carry a full load of classroom work. DEFERRED PAYMENT OF EDUCATION COSTS This plan enables students and parents to pay education expenses in monthly installments. A low cost deferred payment program is available through Education Funds Inc., a nationwide organization specializing in education financing. All EFI plans include insurance on the life of the parent and the student, total and permanent disability insurance on the parent, plus trust admin– istration in event of the parents' death or disability. Agreements may be written to cover all costs payable to the school over a four-year period in amounts up to $14,000.
