As soon as the necessary data
are available, the assignment of
quotas will be made to the individ
ual schools. In the meantime, stu
dents of eligible families may file
their application with the school
principal, who in* turn will furnish
NYA application fbtfps to be sup
plied him by the Youth Adminis
tration at an early date.
Students who receive the NYA
aid this year must be approved by
the official of the school to be at
tended and they must perform use
ful work under ‘the-sopenrision of
1
the schdCfl authorities.
Over 1200 part-time scholarships,
paying an average of $15.00 a
month, will be alloted to the col
leges of the State. Students will
apply to the college of their choice,
asking to be considered for this
,«id, which is intended* for needy.
and worthy students. Naturally,
due to limited funds, all worthy ap
plicants cannot be helped. A col
lege committee composed of fac
ulty members considers all appli
cations and selects those to be
granted this aid.
