NAEB SCHOLARSHIP DEADLINE EXTENDED Application deadline for NAEB Educational Tele¬ vision Scholarships has been extended to May 23. The former deadline was set at April 1, but this extension has been affected because all available funds have not yet been used. In previous announcements and brochures dis¬ tributed with information on the scholarships, it was indicated that multiple copies of applications and supporting letters are required. Now only five copies of each are necessary, instead of the indicated eight. Made possible by a grant from the Ford Founda¬ tion, these scholarships are designed to permit per¬ sons active in educational broadcasting to increase their professional knowledge either through attend¬ ance at workshops or enrollment in regular academic courses. The scholarship awards range from $75 to $300. Brochures giving details on material to be included in applications were sent to those on the NAEB mailing list a few months ago. Additional copies may be obtained at NAEB Headquarters. NAEB SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS ANNOUNCED Nine summer scholarship grants of $250 each have been awarded by the NAEB as part of its program to improve professional qualifications of educational broadcasting personnel.
