That was the view OF benjamin
Fine, who reported on the actiu-
tiea OF the National Scholarship
service and Fund for Negro STU
dents In the New York Timea last
week.
According To Fine. the aims
OF the organisation are;
1. To discover moro college,
qualified Negro students In tho
South.
2, To encourage these students
10 develop their abilities,
=, To provide them with infor-
nation and assistance In obtaining
college scholarships,
4 To furniah financial aid when
needed

known aH tho Southern Project,

Eanikation conducts talent
sea- h In N y, ith. which has
Airrady accounted for aome 800
students from segregated high
achooiA 10 enter non-segregatsd
colleges all over the country.
FINE said the project works
principally In tho rural backward
areas u seelsn out bright Negro
students from schools In these
areas and provides them with
money TO help them finish their
high school education. II then
guides the students In selecting q
college or university. and helps
pay fsas Aasl ethas eApensan
II has been estimated that Of
the 100000 students who an
nually reach college age, about
200. 900 are Negroes. OF this num-
Der. only sparse 10000 enter
colleges and universities. Many
are equipped mentally. but lack
tho incentive or funds Therefore.
they never enter. II In the function
~ the NssFNB 10 help such stu
dents bridge the gap.
