U J Dr. Russ Whittaker, left, State Office of Education, visits with Mark Bezzant, counselor at Pleasant Grove High School, following the post high school orientation. Seniors receive post high school orientation By KALYN SECRETAN Pleasant Grove High School seniors looked very impressive at the Post High School Orientation held Oct. 1 at the school. "These students look like they are dressed for Sunday instead of Tuesday," expressed Dr. Russ Whitaker from the State Office of Education. In the State of Utah, money is available for every student to continue his education, he further explained. High school seniors had the op-portunity to meet with represen-tatives of various institutions of higher education. Students could pick out four places to learn about programs offered. Dr. Whittaker emphasized the need for further education, stating everyone needs more training. "You don't know what you'll be doing three years from now. Technology is changing so fast." Students were told to make preparations now. Some programs you want to enroll in are already full for next year. They were instructed to take the ACT test. Colleges require ACT for 12 to 18 months after college graduation with increased salary. Students were informed to visit the school of their choice. Two days are available for students to make campus visits. March 1 is the deadline for most major scholarships. Students were cautioned about school recruiters who make home appointments with the student and parents where they are persuaded to sign a contract to hold their spot without a time for consideration. Everyone needs further schooling. It was emphasized 95 percent of all women will work full-tim- e sometime in their life. They are going to need further education. The following schools were represented at the orientation: Universal Technical Institute in Arizona, Utah Technical College of Salt Lake and ProvoOrem, Utah State University, Evan's Hair-stylin- Mary Kawakami College of Beauty and Von Curtis Academy of Hair Design. Also College of Eastern Utah, Snow College, Westminster College, LDS Business College, Weber State, Dixie, Stevens-Henage- r, Ricks College, Brigham Young Univer-sity, the military academies, and Southern Utah State College. placement purposes. One hundred million dollars is available for Utah students to further their education. This averages out to $1,000 for every student. Students need to know where and how to obtain funds. Money for college education is available in three basic ways -t-hrough scholarships, grants and loans. Scholarships are available in many forms - athletic, leadership and GPA funds are awarded. Students should be aware of what the scholarships amounts to and the total cost of tuition and fees. Many schools expect a 3.0 or more to maintain the scholarship. Students may be inundated with information from recruiters where enrollment is down. Other states will be coming to Utah to offer scholarships. Dr. Whittaker said to make sure you understand what the total cost is. The second major source of in-come is in the form of grants. The federal government makes money available to students. This should not be considered a hand-ou- t or gift. The government uses the funds to educate students who will in turn pay them far more in the increased income tax paid throughout their life. Qualifying students can receive from $200-$100- Students should fill out the F.A.F (Financial Aid Form) after the first of the year to determine eligibility. Loans are encouraged for students who cannot obtain scholarships or grant funds and cannot go to school any other way. The best time for high school graduate sto go to school is now. Statistics show loans can be repaid :. " ; " r ' '.

A new part-tim- e teacher, Mrs. Darlene Hollingsworth, has been added to the business department to assist Mrs. Strasburg due to an increased class load in the field of business. Mrs. Strasburg had difficult placing students last year when the program began, but this year many opportunities have opened up for students to enter the business world while still in high school.
