SCHOLARSHIPS, PRIZES, AND STUDENT AID 97
added $15 ,000 to this amount. Loans from the fund are made to
undergraduate or graduate students of superior ability who are in
need of such assistance to meet the expenses of their education.
Applications for loans should be made to the Comptroller of the
Institute.
STUDENT EMPLOYMENT
The Institute tries to help students to find suitable employment
when they cannot continue their education without thus supplementing
their incomes. The requirements of the courses at the Institute
are so exacting, however, that under ordinary circumstances students
who are entirely or largely self-supporting should not expect to complete
a regular course satisfactorily in the usual time.
Students wishing employment are advised to write, before coming
to the Institute, to the Secretary of the Institute Y. M. C. A. or the
officer in charge of the National Youth Administration program conducted
by the Institute.
The National Youth Administration program provides at the
Institute during the year 1940-41 the sum of $1065 per month,
which represents 71 units of $15 each per month during the academic
year. This amount may be earned by needy students assigned to
socially desirable tasks, including research work carried on at the
Institute.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
The Institute in cooperation with the Alumni Association maintains
a Placement Office under the direction of a member of the
faculty. With the services of a full-time secretary, this office assists
graduates and undergraduates to find employment. Graduates who
are unemployed or desire improvement in their positions should
register with the Placement Secretary. It should be understood that
the Institute assumes no responsibility in obtaining employment for
its graduates, although the Placement Office will make every effort
to find employment for those men who wish to make use of this
service.
