SCHOLARSHIPS, LOANS, AND EMPLOYMENT SCHOLARSHIPS Scholarships available to students at the University of Florida are adminis- tered through the faculty Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships, and Awards. All the information relative to the basis of awards, the value, and other perti- nent facts concerning scholarships, as well as information regarding the applicants is collected by this committee. An important factor in determining scholarship awards is academic attain- ment, the minimum requirement being a 2.0 overall average. Very few scholarships are available to freshmen and are given only after having satisfactorily completed one semester's work. LOANS The two types of loans administered by the Committee are: (1) long-term loans, which allow the student to complete his education before repayment, and, (2) short-term loans, usually small amounts for emergencies, which allow repayment within thirty or sixty to ninety days, with thirty days being the average time granted. Students desiring to make loans are requested to file application prior to 12 noon on the day of the Committee meetings. Students must have a personal interview with the Loan Committee, which meets twice weekly. EMPLOYMENT Twenty per cent of the students at the University earn a portion of their expenses by engaging in some type of part-time employment. Employment is available in the Cafeteria, Library, Grounds, and various other divisions of the University. The rate of pay varies from 50c to 85c an hour, with monthly earnings averaging about $50. Students are permitted to work a maximum of twenty-five hours per week. In order to get and keep a job, students must have a "C" average or better. For further information consult the Student Employment Office, 128 Administration Building. Scholarships, Loans and Employment are available only through good schol- astic standing. The library is a short cut to good grades-use it. -
