1970-1971 Academic Catalog

ADMISSION AND FINANCES STUDENT AID Many students need assistance in meeting educational costs. Since financial need is one of the factors considered in awarding aid, each single student desiring financial aid in the form of a scholarship or loan, underwritten by the college, must submit a Parent's Confidential State– ment through the College Scholarships Service or a Family Financial State– ment through the Financial Aid Services of The American College Testing Program, Inc. These forms may be secured from a high school guidance counselor or the Student Financial Aid office. Students anticipating financial need should have these forms completed by their parents at least six months prior to the time that they will need to secure aid funds. Application for any aid must be made well in advance of the anticipated need. All requests for student aid are handled by the Director of Financial Aid. SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS 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 an annual 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. Students who are residents of Ohio and who are from lower income fam– ilies or ·families with several dependent children may be eligible for a state tuition grant. The high school guidance counselor or the Director of Finan– cial Aid can give you the details on qualifications and application process. EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANTS The Federal government provides, through the U.S. Office of Education, funds for a limited number of students with exceptional financial need, who require these grants to attend college, and who show academic or creative promise. Grants range from $300 to $1,000 a year and must be supplemented by at least an equal amount of other assistance to the student. The amount of financial assistance a student may receive under an Educa– tional Opportunity Grant depends upon his need, taking into account his financial resources, those of his parents, and the cost qf attending Cedarville.
