There is financial aid available for
West Virginia students who choose
to attend college in the Mountain
State.
[hat's the word of officials of the
West Virginia Financial Aid Associa-
tion who have spearheaded an ef-
fort to have the month of January
declared "Financial Aid Awareness
Month."
The purpose of Awareness
Month. according to members of the
Association, is to point out the
availability of student aid funds and
to emphasize that students who are
nterested in attending college
should apply for these funds if they
are concerned about the costs of'a
college education.
"Many West Virginia families mis-
takenly assume that they will not
qualify for financial aid and conse-
quently don't bother to apply," said
Association President E. F. Hall. "As
a result of not applying," Mr Hall
added, "many worthy West Virginia
students aren't attending college."
"West Virginia students should
not rule out a college education be-
cause they can't afford it," Mr Hall
advises.
Student financial assistance is
available from federal, state, institu-
tional, and private sources.
Last year, approximately half of
the students who attended college
=n West Virginia received over $100
million through a combination of
grant, work, and loan programs.
The state financial aid associa-
tion encourages students to obtain
the West Virginia Financial Aid Form
(FAF) from their high school guid-
ance office and complete the form
with their parent before the March 1
state deadline. The form serves as
the application for most types of aid.
Students should then contact the
Financial Aid Office at a West Vir-
ginia college or university of their
choice.

Consolodation
Subject of "Bowl"
By Jonathan Wright
The consolidation of Greenbrier
County junior high schools will be
the focus of the third annual "Future
Problem-solving Bowl" for area
"gifted" students in grades four, five,
and six.
Approximately 50 students will
participate, according to coordinator
Richard Dulee, teacher of gifted ele-
mentary students. The event will
take place at G~enbrier Community
College in Lewisburg, from 9 a.m. to
1 p.m. January 26.
Partici~ 3nts w~ come from both
gifted and regular education pro-
grams throughout the county. Each
of the ten teams of five is given a
comprehensive statement of the
problem. The teams then "brain-
storm" specific problems which are a
part of the larger problem. Next,
they define the major problem and
brainstorm solutions for it. The next
step is to establish criteria for evalu-
ating the solutions, followed by a se-
lection of the five best solutions
based on those criteria.
Students then choose the best
solution and write a solution state-
ment. The judges then evaluate the
statement and choose the best one
from among the ten teams.
Judges are Mr Dulee and the
other teachers of gifted elementary
students: Danielle Gibson and Dan
Greene. The "Future Problem-solv-
ing Bowl" is one of four problem-
solving events sponsored annually
by the teachers.
