Mrs. Gustison spoke about the tuition scholarship program of the congress, saying that it was started in 1946 with one schol arship and had grown to 150 awards each year. The program was started to encourage out standing young people to select elementary school teaching as a career. They may be used to at tend any state-supported college or university in Oregon which prepares elementary school tea chers. ' A second purpose is to drama tize the need jn Oregon for ad ditional elementary school tea chers of outstanding ability. The money is raised through contributions from local PTA units, city and county councils, and individuals also3 contribute money to the scholarship fund. All recipients of PTA scholar ships must maintain a grade point average of 2.50 or above to be eligible for a renewal of the scholarship. The require ments for such scholarships are a high grade point average in high school, and elementary teachings must be the aim of the student. Application forms mayebe obtained from the local high school principals.
