J
Pa., and the Burlington Free Press in
Vermont. In fact, if he was a newsboy
anywhere, he may qualify for any of
dozens of scholarships set up by large
newspaper chains and by tycoons who
started uphill to fortune by selling
papers. With the change in newspaper
distribution methods in recent years
from street sales to subscriptions,
there are relatively few newsboys in
the country today, and an abundance
of help for them.
A Scout or Explorer has a plus going
for him with possible scholarships at
Albright College in Reading, Pa.; Long
Island University in New York; New
Mexico Highlands University in Las
Vegas, N.Mex.; Princeton University
in New Jersey; Springfield College in
Massachusetts; and Whittier College in
California. If he would like to become
a career Scouter, he'll want to drop a
line to Professional Recruiting Serv-
ice, Boy Scouts of America, North
Brunswick, N J. 08902, to get the scoop
on a number of colleges that offer
substantial help.
You should also know that a good
number of colleges are free, among
them Cooper Union in New York City
and Rice University in Houston, Tex.,
where there is no tuition, only inci-
dental fees. However, the Webb In-
stitute of Naval Architecture in Glen
Cove, N.Y., is so well-endowed that
once a boy is admitted he receives
everything—tuition, room and board,
books and materials—at no cost.
Organized labor has many education
funds for its members' sons. Not only
the big unions are on the bandwagon,
but the smaller ones, too. For sons of
janitors (The Chicago Flat Janitors'
Union), children of cab drivers (The
Terminal Taxicab System of New
York), there's help at hand.
Hundreds of employers, not to be
outdone, have such funds, beginning
with Abraham and Strauss, a New
York Department store; Aetna Steel,
a metal milling company; Western
Union; and Young and Rubicam, an
ad agency. Westinghouse and General
Motors offer scholarship plans for
students who qualify, no matter where
their parents work.
If dad's a member of Rotary, Ki-
wanis, the Elks or Masons—to name
only a few—scholarships sit waiting.
The same holds true of veterans
groups—the American Legion, Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars and some 18
other war service groups. And just
about every religious denomination
has some help on hand for members.
At many municipal, state and land-
grant schools tuition is so low that a
young fellow can get an education at
bargain prices, and as a resident of
the community and state he has first
shot at admission.
At least 35 states offer scholarships
to residents but usually with the stip-
ulation that the award be used in col-
leges in their own state. New York
gives out more than 17,000—California
more than 5,000.
A major contributor to college stu-
dents is—as you might guess—the
Federal Government. It provides di-
rect grants, work-study programs,
Reserve Officers' Training Corps and
other categories, including scholar-
ships for children of war veterans who
died from injury or disease or who
were permanently and totally disabled
under certain conditions of military
service.
The military academies offer excel-
lent opportunities if a boy can gain
an appointment from his Congress-
man. Tuition, room and board are
free. Have him write to his Congress-
man for information on how he de-
termines his appointments. Most
Congressmen use competitive exams.
And while a boy is checking out the
field, have him look into the National
Defense Student Loan Program. A
student may borrow up to $1,000 a
year from money provided by the Fed-
eral Government (one-ninth of the
money is provided by the school). The
school determines who needs the
money and how much each individual
should receive, following guidelines
set out by the government.
Some last nuggets, for families who
will contribute a part of the annual
expenses, are called "pay as you learn"
programs and are sponsored by banks
and private financial institutions. Two
of the best known are the Tuition
Plan, Inc., and the Insured Tuition
Payment Plan, Inc. Parents make
monthly payments to cover tuition
and other fees. Both plans are recom-
mended by most fine colleges.
So if your son—or some older
Scouts and Explorers in your unit are
keen on college—now's the time for
them to get moving. Some letter writ-
ing and research will pay off. And the
books mentioned below—with particu-
lars about where to write for informa-
tion—should prove a big help.
