The Martin Luther King Scholarship Glassboro State College has instituted a program for the higher education of a group of fifty students who have the disadvantages which stem from a background of socio- economic deprivation. This program, called The Martin Luther King Scholars' Proiect, is attempting to give these young people an opportunity to receive a college education by giving them remedial assistance, in the form of reading, writing, and mathematics clinics, and also through private tutoring. These students are enrolled in regular classes, and most of them are carrying one less course than what would constitute a full academic load at Glassboro State College. No separate, segregated courses have been established for these students, they are fully integrated into the regular program of the college. The remedial and tutorial assistance which these students receive is extra and does not constitute a part of their regular course load. In addition to the forms of assistance enumerated, the proiect staff, consisting of a Director, Assistant Director and two graduate assistants, has developed a comprehensive program of guidance and counseling , for these students. This program is being funded by an Eco- nomic Opportunity Fund Grant which Glass- boro State College has received from the state of New Jersey. Additional support has been received in the form of an Economic Opportunity Grant from the Federal Govern- ment., The ultimate aim of the program is to enrich the educational experiences of all students at Glassboro State College by in- creasing the student mix, extending the out- reach of the college into broader areas of cooperation with grass-roots community or- ganizations, and by altering the curricula of the college to permit learning experiences which are more meaningful and contempo- rary conditions. It should be rather evident that proiects of this kind represent the response of the educational establishment to the demand for community, especially the Black community. Program
