October 1992 Page 13 EDUCATION NEWS Smoke Signals EDUCATION UPDATE By Dean Azule The month of September brought many inquiries seeking possible enrollment for Fall Term, 1992. Many of these people hadn't initiated the application process, nor had many begun working on their Financial Aid application. The reality is: students seeking admission into college and financial assistance from the Tribe's Adult Education Program or the Adult Vocational Training Program who have not completed any of these applications prior to July 31, 1992, won't receive assistance for the upcoming term. The Higher Education Program has reached an all-time high in terms of numbers of students who want financial assistance. This school year (1992-93) the program has enrolled a total of 41 students. Because of this, applications received by late August or September have been placed on a waiting list for possible WINTER TERM 1993 consideration. Students on the waiting list need to realize unless the number of students changes its number of students for Winter and Spring Terms, they may not receive assistance for either of these terms. The program currently has more students than available dollars! A word of warning to students who will be attending school next year (1993-94), you must begin your Financial Aid application and Tribal application during the months of January to March, 1993. The projection indicates we will only graduate 2-3 students during this school year, so the sooner you turn in applications, the better chance you have to receive funding for 1993. While enrollment is up in the Adult Vocational Training program, there are still some slots available for this program. If you are seeking enrollment in this program, you must have your completed AVT application into the Education office by November 1, 1992, to be eligible for Winter Term funding. Applications received after this date will not be considered until Spring Term, 1993, in March. The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde's Education Department looks forward to an exciting and rewarding school year for our students.
