Bender Heads Committee to Oversee Student Money Aids

Dean Bender will head a reconstituted committee which will coordinate all student financial aid machinery, the College announced yesterday. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences voted Tuesday to expand the present Scholarship Committee to include jobs, beneficiary aid, and loans.

Formerly titled the Committee on Scholarships, the new group will be called the Committee on Scholarships and Financial Aids, in keeping with its enlarged functions.

According to John H. Monro '35, assistant to the Provost and a member of the Committee on Scholarships, the new arrangement will enable students "to get financial aid more easily and quickly."

Working with the newly-organized Financial Aid Center, the scholarship committee will now, for the first time, be integrated with the loan board.

The expanded committee will not determine the allocation of low-priced rooms, Monro said. It will merely go over individual applications, leaving the final decision to the freshman deans and the Housemasters.

But because the committee will have all necessary material at hand, it will be able to screen effectively the applications and thus to make "fair decisions," Monro said.
