■ A E B NEWSLETTER NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTERS 14 GREGORY HALL URBANA, ILLINOIS NAEB SCHOLARSHIPS AND WORKSHOP GRANTS-IN-AID We would like to bring to the attention of our readers that two types of NAEB financial aid's are presently available to qualified applicants. The first of these consists of scholarships de¬ signed to permit persons active in educational broad¬ casting to increase their professional knowledge either through attendance of workshops or regular academic sessions. Because funds are limited it seems unlikely that we will be able to help all who apply. However, we nevertheless urge those who are interested to submit their applications. All applicants will be judged collectively. The second category entails workshop grants-in- aid intended to assist institutions planning to con¬ duct workshops. The specific purpose of these grants- in-aid is to help institutions to hire outstanding con¬ sultants whom they might not be able to afford otherwise, thus increasing the caliber of their fac¬ ulties. It should be understood that these grants-in-aid are not intended to completely finance workshops, nor to help institutions which previously had no inten¬ tion of conducting one. Thus, if failure to receive a are not intended to completely finance workshops, nor application should be filed. As in the case of the NAEB scholarships, the num¬ ber of applicants is likely to exceed the number of grants we will be able to make. Those interested in applying should write us a detailed letter including the following information: (1) who is sponsoring the workshop (2) when and where it will be held (3) the purpose (4) the pro¬ posed budget (5) the staff involved (6) for whom the workshop is primarily designed (7) whether or not college credit will be given (8) how participants are to be selected (9) the cost to the participants (10) NAEB Newsletter Vol. XXII, No. I I November, 1957 NAEB Newsletter, a monthly publication issued by the National Association of Educational Broadcasters, 14 Gregory Hall, Urbana, III. $5 a year, edited by Hans J.

INTERNATIONAL ETY SEMINAR “Community need” was cited by Hartford Gunn, gen¬ eral manager of WGBH-TV, Boston, as the major re¬ quirement for success of ETV in individual places. Gunn spoke at the close of the First International Educational Television Seminar, a two-day con¬ ference, sponsored by Boston University’s School for Public Relations and Communications, Division of Communications Arts. “If a community has this need,” Gunn added, “then organizing and financing an educational tele¬ vision station becomes much easier.” He pointed out that his contention, that existing TV stations reflect the needs of the people in the area, has been true in many localities in the United States. In commenting on the financing of ETV in this country, Gunn stated that 11 are underwritten by public educational institutions, an equal number is 1
