$4,000 For Cou nty School
Grants In Mail To Parents
Educational
Help Made For
1926 Students

Nearly $64 900 in $50 checks
were mailed to $50 parents of
Prince Edward county school
children this week representing
the first Of two payments Of the
county grant for educational
purposes for the l960-6l session.
The payment provides the
grant to assist with education of
1875 children enrolled in the
seven schools operated by the
Prince Edward School Founda-
ton.
No grants were made to par
ents Of county children enrolled
in public schools outside the
county No case in which such
public school has made tuition
charge has come to the atten-
ton of the agent for the board
OF supervisors, Mrs. Mary R.
Cheatham.
For All Children
This weeks payments we're
made by appropriation from a
fund Of $27O.OOO budgeted by the
county for educational purposes
this year Supervisors earmark-
ed sum for such purposes suf-
ficient to provide at least $lO0
for each white and Negro child
in the county.
The second payment on the
county grant will be made in
the second semester, with an es-
tablished deadline of February
Is. The county grant will total
at least $500 for the year. Under
the terms of the county ordi-
nance establishing the grant,
the second payment may be
larger at the discretion of the
board of supervisors.
State County Plan
The county grants will supple
ment state scholarship grants
for private, nonsectarian school
ing or for public schooling out
side the county The state pro-
vides $3.50 for high school stu
| dents and S125 for elementary
school children.
The county and state grants
together will provide all but SIS
of the tuition charges this year
made by the Prince ward
School Foundation. These are
$265 for upper school students,
$240 for lower school, or ele-
mentary school, children.
In areas where no county
grant is available, parents may
apply for a state grant of $3.50
for high school or $225 for ele-
mentary school children. The
state will later withhold the
countys share of the grant from
state funds due the county.
To Approve More
Parents Of county children at
tending public schools outside
the county may apply for the
full S tie scholarship grant
through the office of Super
intendent Of Schools T. j. NC
1lWaine. The grant, however, is
made in the amount of the
tuition charged at the school at
tended. which is usually small
err than the maximum state
grant.
The state portion of the edu-
cational grants is also paid in
two payments. one per Sc
meSter.
Mrs. Cheatham said today
that a few additional applica-
tons for the county grant have
been made by parents of chill
dren arriving at school age aft
