a college education regardless of
family income.
In addition to the new financial
aid program McMurry is offering
two new scholarships to students.

reasons alone."
The agreement states that
McMurry becomes a "coopera-
tive partner with all students and
their families. Any student who
meets admission criteria is
willing to work and whose family
will file for and participate in
federal and state financial aid
programs is guaranteed that the
cost of their education at
McMurry College will be met
regardless of family income."
McMurry vice president and
academic dean Dr. Paul
Jungmeycr said the idea for such
a program came from the dis-
cussions with parents of prospec-
tive students. "Because of the
current economic situation and
the perceived uncertainty over the
financial aid programs parents
are showing concern over their
abilities to send their children to
college. We're trying to relieve
some of that concern."
Ms. Corky Swanson director of
financial aid stated that "Most
students didn't even apply for aid

government was cutting down
their aid and assumed it would
immediately effect them. The
only way the government saved
money this year was by scaring
students from applying for it. We
had more money to give as aid
this year than we did last year!"
In order to be eligible for the
program a student must com-
plete the application forms for
financial aid apply for and be
accepted for admission accept
the offer of admission and sign
and return the McMurry Coopera-
tive Agreement before March 15

Forms for students wishing to
apply for the program for this
spring are already available in the
'financial aid office. Forms for
next fall will be available as of
January 15. Students must com-
plete the forms and sign a
contract.
"We feel that any capable
student should not be denied the
opportunity to get a college
education at McMurry."
