WISTEC Scholarships A grant of $4400 from the Fred Meyer Charitable Trust will enable Willamette Science and Technology Center (WISTEC) to offer 60 full-tuition scholar ships for children from low in come families during a period of one year beginning in January 1984. The grant will allow WISTEC to award incentive scholarships of $10 toward class tuition to 150 girls during the same time period. Full tuition for the class is $30. The full-tuition scholarships and incentive scholarships are offered to increase the scientific and technical literacy of elemen tary and high school students in Lane County. In the past, WISTEC’s computer classes have consistently attracted about 75% boys and 25% girls. The in centive scholarships are offered to girls in hopes of balancing the enrollment of boys and girls in computer classes. WISTEC’s computer classes introduce students to computer programming. They learn to write and run programs in BASIC, a computer language common to most types of micro computers. There are no grades and no homework; there is plen ty of individual attention and opportunity to explore. Full scholarships are available on a first-come, first served ba sis, to anyone eight to eighteen years of age whose family has a Food Stamp card. Incentive scholarships are available to girls from eight to eighteen, also on a first-come, first served basis (no demonstration of financial need required).
