Piecimont Tech
Plans Program
Of Work-Study
GREENWOOD - A work study
program has been inaugurated at
Piedmont Technical Education
Center that will enable students
who qualify to help finance their
school costs.
Center Director Lex D. Wal
ters said the program 'opens a
significantly wider opportunity
for those to whom tuition and text
book costs might be prohibitive,
even though these costs at Pied
mont TEC are held to minimum."
Work study students qualify for
the program on a basis of fi
nancial need. They may earn at
least the minimum wage on jobs
at the center, working up to 15
hours a week while classes are
in session and 40 hours a week
during summer or other va
cations.
The program is financed by 20
per cent local (school) funds and
80 per cent federal funds, for
which Piedmont TEC has been
granted $10,500 by the U.S. Office
of Education.
Center counselors also are
prepared to advise students on a
loan program sponsored by the
Office of Education under which
individual students borrow money
directly from banks or other
lending agencies to finance their
educations. Interests are feder
ally paid while students are in
school and repayment begins up to
a year afterward.

When you sort the wash,
