Oregon Awarded School-
To-Work Grant
Oregon is one of eight states awarded grants from the Clinton
administration’s School-to-Work Opportunities Act. Oregon will receive
S3 million this year and possibly $ 15 million over a five-year period to help
prepare students for work and lifelong learning.
Gov. Barbara Roberts said Oregon was rewarded because of the state’s
vision for young people and the state’s ability to deliver. "Oregon has
shown that business, schools and government can work together to make
a difference for young people.”
State School Supt. Norma Paulus said the grant is another validation
of Oregon’s school reform program “The Clinton administration recog
nizes what Oregon has been doing. They know w e’re on the right path."
The 1991 Legislature approved the Educational Act for the 21st
Century to produce the best educated citizens in the nation by the year 2000
and a workforce equal to any in the world by the year 2010. School-to-work
complements the school improvement effort by helping provide students
with the skills to compete for jobs in a changing global economy and to
value lifelong learning.
The selection was made by the U.S. Departments of Education and
Labor. Education Secretary Richard Riley, in making the awards, said
"These eight state are the pioneers in a nationwide movement to better
prepare young people for college and careers.”
“There should not be a barrier between education and work,” stated
Labor Secretary Robert Reich. “These grants provide needed resources to
states to enable them to serve as catalysts bringing business and educators
together.”

UNCF Celebrates Anniverary With
Record Fund-Raising Year
The United Negro College Fund
(UNCF), which is celebrating its 50th
anniversary this year broke its own
record by raising nearly $100 mil
lion during fiscal year 1994. At the
same time, the organization dramati
cally improved its cost efficiency.
UNCF raised $91.1 million dol
lars, including contributions to both
its annual and capital campaigns.
This exceeds last year’s record in
come by more than 11 percent.
Even more significant, while
reaching new fund-raising heights,
the College Fund also reduced its
administrative expenses to a new
low of 2.8 percent, placing it in the
top five percent o f American non
profit organizations. Including fund-
raising costs, the organization now
spends only 16.3 cents for every
dollar raised, down from 17.9 cents
in 1993 and lower still from 24.1
cents at the start o f the 1990s.
“1 am enormously proud o f the
College Fund’shistoric performance.
We have raised the largest annual
total o f our 50-year history and have
done so with tremendous efficiency,”
said William H. Gray, III, UNCF
PresidentandCEO."Whatthis means
is more young men and women will
get a college education and be em-
poweredto change their lives and the
world.”
At the close o f fiscal year 1994,
the College Fund’s capital fund-rais
ing drive, Campaign 2000: An In
Jefferson
Class ‘74
Reunion
vestment in America’s Future, had
brought in $200.4 million, which
positions the campaign to reach its
$250 million goal early in 1995. “I
believe that during this 50th anniver
sary year we will reach the $ 1 billion
mark thanks to those who believe in
education for changing the world,”
Gray added.
UNCF raises funds and provides
services for 41 private, historically
black colleges and un i versities. Since
1986, enrollment at member colleges
has increased by 28 percent to a
record high o f 54,500 students.
UNCF has been ranked as a leading
higher education organization by
Money, Forbes, and The Non-Profit
Times.
