I Work
Plan
A program of graduate
study through which mature
col-ege women may quali-
fy themselves for teaching,
research, or administra-
tion in higher education will
begin this Fall through a
unique program of the Am-
erican Association of Uni-
versity Women Educational
Foundation, according to
Mrs. Edward Sharp, mem-
ber of the North Palm
Beach Branch, American
Association of University
Women.
Financed by a $225,000
grant from the Rockef el ie r
Brothers Fund, this nation-
ally significant program
will be initiated over a
three year period in eleven
southern states.
Designed to add fully -
qualified women to the na-
tion's resources of colege
faculty, the program will
not only help to relie v e the
acute shortage of trained
college personnel, but will
provide unusual opportun-
ity for the mature woman
to embark on a profession-
al career in higher educ-
ation. Some of the "stu-
dents" accepted for the de-
monstration will be wives
and mothers whose family
responsibilities are less-
ened as their children
reach high school or coll-
ege age.
Fields of study of the
1962-63 recipients who will
begin their studies this fall
in southern universities
and colleges range from
mathematics, psychology,
and plant pathology to Eng-
lish and home economics.
The awardees are between
the ages of 34 and 50 years.
College graduates who
hold bachelor's ormaster's
degrees and wish more in-
formation about the pro-
gram should contact Mrs.
Sharp, at Vi 4-3568.
