vqj pg Scholarships For Science Teachers E, i). -_ y HGHTY-THREE young men and women are now receiving financial assistance in their quest for higher education at American universities and colleges under RCA Scholarships and Fellowships. This fall the list includes for the first time students awarded the new RCA Science Teacher Scholarships. There are four separate parts to RCA's 12-year-old student aid program: (1) Thirty scholarships are provided, under the newest phase of the program, for students preparing to enter the science teaching profession. (2) Thirty-three other scholarships are offered to undergraduate college students majoring in science, in- dustrial relations, dramatic arts and music. (3) Twenty fellowships are awarded to postgrad- uate students pursuing studies in electrical engineering, physics, engineering physics, business administration and dramatic arts. Ten of these fellowships are offered to outstanding RCA employees. (4) A Tuition Loan and Refund Plan enables employees to take college and correspondence school courses after working hours. The thirty new Science Teacher Scholarships awarded this fall are designed to help ease the critical shortage of high school science and mathematics teachers. Based on the results of a survey made by the RCA Educa- tion Committee, the scholarships were established at twenty teacher-training colleges in sixteen states where the shortage was found most acute. Science Teacher Scholarships Ten of the Science Teacher Scholarships, providing annual grants of $800, were awarded to prospective science teachers during their sophomore, junior or senior years at: Berea College, Berea, Ky.; Adelphi College, Garden City, N. Y.; Clark College, Atlanta, Ga.; University of Delaware, Newark, Del.; Goucher College, Baltimore, Md.; West Virginia Wesleyan College, Buck- hannon, W. Va.; University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyo.; Trinity College, Hartford, Conn.; St. Louis Uni- versity, St. Louis, Mo.; and University of Rhode Island, Kingston, R.I. RCA also made an unrestricted con- tribution of $500 to the seven independent colleges in this group. Twenty other new scholarships, ten of which provide $800 each, were granted to selected teacher-training colleges, and awarded to junior or senior students. In addition, ten scholarships of $250 each were granted at these same teacher-training colleges to encourage freshman and sophomore students. The twenty scholar- ships were awarded at: New Jersey State Teachers Colleges at Trenton and Montclair, N. J.; Eastern Kentucky State College, Richmond, Ky.; New York State College for Teachers, Albany, N Y.; Georgia State College for Women, Milledgeville, Ga.; Henderson State Teachers College, Arkadelphia, Ark.; Western State Teachers College, Macomb, 111.; New Mexico Highlands University, Las Vegas, N. Mex.; Arizona State College, Flagstaff, Ariz.; and Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Wash. Each college or university had the responsibility of selecting recipients for these awards. Most of the com- pany's scholarships and fellowships established at desig- nated institutions are awarded in the same manner. Other Scholarship Awards The thirty-three RCA Scholarships are the outgrowth of a program started in 1945 to stimulate interest in the A chemistry student experimenting in the laboratory of Goucher College which is participating in RCA plan.
