Where there's a will, there's a way lt is well known that the cost of two years at a junior college is more within the reach of the average family than costs of a large university. At Jones County Junior College, as everywhere, the administrators try to keep the costs down. To help even further numerous scholarships and grants are given to students who need extra funds or who excel in a particular field. Grants are available to students who are needy and could not other- wise attend school. At Jones there are approximately 968 students who have qualified for a federal grant. Scholarships are available to stu- dents based on their character, lead- ership ability, good citizenship and academic achievement. Various citi- zens, clubs and businesses have set up these scholarships and contributed varying amounts toward continuing scholarships. Some scholarships are given by the school to students of abil- ity within a certain field or depart- ment. A few of these are the athletic schol- arships, band, music, journalism, sci- ence, and other departmental scholar- ships which pay tuition. Of course there are many students who are eligible for scholarships grade-wise who choose to pay for their college rom jobs either on or off cam- pus. 0n campus there are approxi- mately 300 students on the work study program who work in various departments. Some students work in the offices typing, running errands, or helping with paper work. Some work as assistants in the science lab. Oth- ers work in the cafeteria. The library uses a number of student assistants at the checkout counter and for shelv- ing. There are students on the work- study program whose jobs are to act as scorekeeper at basketball games and to write sports and send these sto- ries out to the newspapers. Students work on the stage and production crews and of course there are the team managers who keep things going for the teams. Most of the stu- dents work two hours a day on the workstudy program. 54 X F nancicl Aid in Q Q Q Q 1 s Q E W J -S--45+ Joe Herrington, financial director at Jones County Junior College, is in charge of the students who are on a scholarship, grant or workstudy pro- gram. Approximately 1200 students attend JCJC with the help of a scholar- ship or loan and about S830,000 is involved in financial aid for JCJC stu- dents. A student's financial aid can be ter- minated. lf a student's grade point average falls below 1.5, he is put on probation for a quarter. Since so much financial aid is avail- able through loans, scholarships, and the workstudy program, in addition to jobs many students have off campus, there is no reason a student who wishes to go to college cannot do so.
