There are other ways that students can receive aid. The supplemental grant program, which unlike the Pell grant program, is not an entitlement. UVSC is awarded an allocation for the year to be disbursed according to student need. This money is awarded on a first come' first served basis, and when the money is gone, no more awards are made. UVSC encourages students to apply for these types of grants because the greater the need by the student body, the greater the allocation from the government. The school also offers the work-study program, which is similar to the supplemental program as it is based on allocation. Qualified students can be awarded up to 5000 dollars in work-study, which is then disbursed in the form of a paycheck received by working for the school in a specified department, thus helping students find jobs here on campus. In addition, every dollar earned through work-study is considered an award making the student more eligible for aid. "If students are in need, we (the financial aid department) want to create an environment in which they can come to us for help," said McCormick, "that's our job, and we want students to talk to us if we are not meeting their needs."

"It's neat to see national figures paying attention to UVSC," said Phil Clegg, Director of Student Activities, "especially when we are trying to get a communications degree going." UVSC did not seek out a visit from Stossel. "He called us and asked if he could come," Clegg said. In addition to being an anchor on "20/20", Stossel is also an anchor and correspondent on the "John Stossel Specials." Stossel also hosts a weekly special called "Give Me A Break," where he takes a skeptical look at current issues in the media. Stossel has based a book off of his segment called "Give Me A Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media." He will be doing a book signing after his speech at UVSC for those interested. UVSC BOOKSTORE Your College. Your needs. Your Store.
