Foundation Opens Statewide
Appeal For Scholarship Aid
100000 Asked
For ACOntinuing
ScholarshipFund
Plan Designed To
Aid Parents Who
Can't Pay Fees

The Prince F d ward
School Foundation today
launched a 100000 state
wide Scholarship Fund
drive to continue it's edu-
cational program for every
white child in the county
regardless of ability to pay
the private school tuition.
B. Blanton Hanhr~v.
president of the founda-
ton which has operated
accredited schools for the
past two years, said, eve
will open schools Septem-
Der 5 as planned with a
S339,O00 budget"
The foundation leader,
in announcing the state
wide appeal for aid in de-
veloping a continuing scho-
larship fund, said, Par
ents who can will be ex-
pected to pay tuition, but
we will have a scholarship
program to-. provide for
those who can't pay" This
appeal is being made to
people outside of Prince
Edward County.
First Year Operation
The first year the foundation
was in operation its program was
financed entirely by contribu-
tons, chiefly from citizens Of
Prince Edward county. The sec
ond year tuition was charged,
based on experience the first
year, $240 for elementary school
pupils and $265 for secondary
school pupils. All but SIS Of the
tuition costs per child was avail
able to parents in the form Of
county and state tuition scholar
ships.
When the foundation adopted
its operating budget for 1862,
those county and state sources of
income were still available to
citizens of Prince Edward. But,
that was upset last week when
Federal District Judge Oren R.
Lewis singled the county out as
one where the county and the
state cannot expend public funds
for direct or indirect support of
any private school as long as
public schools are closed in the
county.
Since that ruling of Judge
Lewis. the foundation has had
little to say except that it will
operate schools this year as
planned. Today's announcement
Of establishment Of a scholarship
fund and the launching of the
drive for funds on which to build
it gives the first clue Of how the
foundation plans to finance its
program this year.
County Still Quiet
Meanwhile. the county board of
supervisors and other county Of
ficials have remained silent since
the handing down of the newest
decision in the ten year old
school case. No word of an ap-
peal of the latest decision from
either side has been heard, nor
has there been any hint of when
such an action will or will not be
made been forthcoming.
