THE WESTERN TEXAN
February 28,
Director Explains Application
Financial Aids Available At UTP1
Financial aid information and
applications for the fall 1973
opening semester of The
University of Texas of the
Permian Basin are now
available from the Financial
Aid Office, Joe Tave, director,
announced this week.
Tave explained that awards
of financial assistance to UTPB
students will be based on a
determination of the difference
between a students' resources
and his estimated expenses.
"We expect the expenses of
a student living with his parents
to be about $1500 for the
academic year," Tave ob-
r
served, "while the expenses for
a student living away from
home will be about $1900."
Students expecting to need
financial assistance to attend
UTPB may obtain information
and application forms from the
Financial Aid Office. Those
applying for aid will be required
to fill out a University ap-
plication as well as to supply
a Family Financial Statement
to the American College Testing
Program. The Family Financial
Statement is a confidential,
standardized form which
provides the University an
accurate summary of the
financial resources available to
a student.
An effort will be made to
provide every student in need
of financial assistance an "aid
package," which may be
comprised of a scholarship,
loan, part-time job, or a com-
bination of these.
Among the assistance
programs that will be available
to UTPB students are grants
like the Connally-Carrillo State
Scholarships and the Sup-

completion of the exam, the
nurses may seek permanent
employment as a Licensed
Vocational Nurse.
According to Nurse Diggs, the
new nurses are products of an
innovative nursing program that
enthusiastically supports WTC's
motto, "A New Experience in
Education."
Unique Training
She says that through in-
dividualized training, practical
laboratory experience, new
affiliations with local doctors'
offices, nursing homes, the local
health clinic, and through
emphasis upon the patient's
psychological needs, the WTC
nursing curriculum offers
training not available in many
other nursing programs.
The nurses were capped in
May and they graduated
January 11, 1973.
The first class of nurses
educated at Western Texas
College has been graduated
from the Licensed Vocational
Nursing program, according to
Sylvia Diggs, R.N., instructor
in nursing.
The new graduates are
Elizabeth Cramer, Barbara
Davis, Virginia Green, Linda
Ham, Sherry Jenkins, Mildred
Pevehouse, Helen Robinson and
Barbara Schiebel, all of Snyder.
Others are Mary Fugate of
Colorado City, and Jolene Smith
and Jo Kelly of Jayton.
Take State Board
After graduation and
receiving a certificate of
completion, the nursing can-
didates must travel to Austin
to take a day long examination
administered by the state board

Grants availabUe to in-service

Loan programs include the
Hinson-Hazelwood Student Loan
for Texas residents and the
federally supported Guaranteed
Loan Program and National
Direct Student Loans.
In addition to state and
federally supported grants and
loans, Tave hopes for a number
of privately endowed scholar-
ships and loan funds.
"A strong financial aid
program," observed Tave,
"must be supported by the
