Financial Aid Workshop We will be holding our annual Education Program Financial Aid Application Workshop on DECEMBER 13 in Grand Ronde at the Tribal Community Center from 9 a.m. until Noon. We would really encourage all local high school seniors who plan to attend college or propriety school next fall to attend and get their financial aid application completed at this time. Also, if you are a returning student or if you are will be entering college for the first time after being in the workforce, this will be a good time to receive expert informa tion on filling out the form. We will hold another workshop in Mid-January at the Chemeketa campus in Salem. Take responsibility for your education! (Or does your mother do it for you?) Over the last six months the Education Division has seen an increase in requests for applications, program service informa tion, and explanation of the educational process. While this increase is great, a majority of these inquiries are being made by students' mothers. In the last two months, one mother of a 40 year old man has con tinuously called on behalf of her son. The bottom line is: when a student applies for grants or scholarships and is provided assis tance for school, it is the student's responsi bility from beginning to end. Educational grants are provided to eli gible students to attend school. These grants are not provided to a student's mother. Mother docs not apply for the grant and as such she is not responsible for daughter or son 's application, grade reports, attendance or academic progress. As long as a student is in school and re ceives a Tribal Higher Education grant, an Adult Vocational Training (AVT) grant, Tribal Education Trust Fund Scholarship, or Short Term Training grant, they arc re sponsible to meet application and Federal Fi nancial Aid filing deadlines, submit grade reports and transcripts in a timely manner, and maintain communication with the Tribal Education Division. The Education Division programs and ser vices are available to all tribal members seek ing assistance to attend school or training. The Division staff are here to assist and fa cilitatribal members in the application pro cess and addressing academic progress. Staff will work with you throughout your academic process, but we will not do it for you. Give MOM a break! Mother carried you for nine months (some of you even longer). She gave you life, raised you and supported you . She should not have to do your paper work and attend classes for you as well! ' The average age of Adult Vocational Training students is 29 years. The average age of Higher Educa tion and Scholarship students is 26 years. FALL TERMSEMESTER ENROLLMENT is at an all time high for the Tribal Higher Education Programs. Fourteen students are being funded through the Adult Vocational Training Program, 33 students are being funded through the Higher Education Program with two pending award determina tions, and 18 students are receiving a Tribal Education Trust Fund Scholar ship to attend college. The following number of students are ready to enter school Winter TermSemester and will likely be funded through the Tribal Education Programs: Six Adult Vocational Training Program students and six Higher Education Program students. Average student awards this year are about $4,000. The ceiling award a student is eligible to receive is $6,000 and awards range from $60 to'$6,000.
