For the information and aid
of the P-TA members, review
was made of the manner in
which pare n s or guardians
could apply for and receive
scholarship aid from state and
county sources.
It was pointed out that par
ents could expect to receive a
grant for education from t h e
county of at least $50 on or
about October Is. They could
expect to receive, from the
state, a scholarship aid Of $62 so
about November Is.
The remaining scholarship
aids from county and. S a e
sources are expected to be paid
to the parent in like manner
during the second semester.
