STUDENT EMPLOYMENT
Every effort is made to aid qualified students in obtaining part-time employment.
Opportunities are limited; consequently the number of part-time jobs available does not
approach the number of applicants seeking these jobs. Every attempt is made to place
students in work that utilizes their training and experience.
Each student who is employed by the University must have an honor point average
of "C" for the semester or term immediately preceding his employment. The average
rate of pay per hour is between 50 and 75 cents; the average earnings per month are
about $40.
Student employment is directed by the Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships
and Awards, with the Assistant Dean of Men administering the program. All applica-
tions for work should be made prior to the opening of the semester in which employment
is desired. Applications for work, however, may be filed at any time.
Inquiries should be addressed to: Assistant Dean of Men, University of Florida,
Gainesville, Florida.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The University of Florida does not have large sums of money available for cash
scholarships. Many of the scholarships available to students are awarded directly by
the donors, and administered through the Business Office of the University and the
Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships, and Awards. However, there are a number of
scholarships awarded and administered by the Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships
and Awards. This Committee collects all information relative to the basis of award,
the value, and other pertinent facts pertaining to scholarships. The Committee also
collects information on the applicants and supplies this information to donors. In some
instances the Committee has been given the authority to make awards without con-
sulting donors.
While scholarship as evidenced by academic attainment is an important feature in
making awards, it is by no means the only consideration. The student's potential capacity
to profit by college training and to make reasonable returns to society are important
considerations in making all awards.
In addition to the opportunities for scholarship awards at the University, prospective
students are urged to consult the resources in their home communities. Many civic clubs
and community organizations are interested in providing means whereby students may
attend college when they are convinced the investment will be worth while.
Unless otherwise specified, applications for scholarships listed below should be made
to the Dean of Men, who is Chairman of the Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships
and Awards at the University of Florida, Gainesville.

Rowe, the late Director General of the Pan American Union, a revolving loan fund was
created to render supplementary assistance to deserving Latin American Students who
wish to pursue studies or investigations in the universities and colleges of the United
States.
The Fund thus created through his will is known as the Leo. S. Rowe Pan Ameri-
can Fund. It is administered through a Permanent Committee, designated by the Coun-
cil of the Organization of American States.
The benefits of the fund are extended in the form of loans to students in the fol-
lowing categories:
1. Latin American students who, having completed their technical or professional
studies, wish to come to the United States to pursue advanced studies or engage in
special research or investigations of a technical or scientific nature.
2. Latin American students who are already pursuing studies or research in the
United States, and who require additional assistance to enable them to complete their
work or to meet an emergency.
3. Latin American students who are the recipients of scholarships for study in the
universities or colleges of the United States, or have resources of their own to undertake
such studies, but who may require additional assistance to enable them to meet their
needs.
The Permanent Committee has particularly stressed the importance that these loans
be granted to applicants whose studies have a direct bearing on the economic, social
and cultural development of the Latin American countries. Emphasis has also been
placed on the fact that all applicants must complete their studies, leading to a degree,
within the maximum period of two years. The maximum obtainable for students already
in the United States is $500 per year. The loans bear no interest and must be repaid
within five years after the completion of the purpose for which they were granted.

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT
Every effort is made to aid qualified students in obtaining part-time employment.
Opportunities are limited; consequently the number of part-time jobs available does not
approach the number of applicants seeking these jobs. Every attempt is made to place
students in work that utilizes their training and experience.
Each student who is employed by the University must have an honor point average
of "C" for the semester or term immediately preceding his employment. The average
rate of pay per hour is between 50 and 75 cents; the average earnings per month are
about $40.
Student employment is directed by the Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships
and Awards, with the Assistant Dean of Men administering the program. All applica-
tions for work should be made prior to the opening of the semester in which employment
is desired. Applications for work, however, may be filed at any time.
Inquiries should be addressed to: Assistant Dean of Men, University of Florida,
Gainesville, Florida.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The University of Florida does not have large sums of money available for cash
scholarships. Many of the scholarships available to students are awarded directly by
the donors, and administered through the Business Office of the University and the
Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships, and Awards. However, there are a number of
scholarships awarded and administered by the Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships
and Awards. This Committee collects all information relative to the basis of award,
the value, and other pertinent facts pertaining to scholarships. The Committee also
collects information on the applicants and supplies this information to donors. In some
instances the Committee has been given the authority to make awards without con-
sulting donors.
While scholarship as evidenced by academic attainment is an important feature in
making awards, it is by no means the only consideration. The student's potential capacity
to profit by college training and to make reasonable returns to society are important
considerations in making all awards.
In addition to the opportunities for scholarship awards at the University, prospective
students are urged to consult the resources in their home communities. Many civic clubs
and community organizations are interested in providing means whereby students may
attend college when they are convinced the investment will be worth while.
Unless otherwise specified, applications for scholarships listed below should be made
to the Dean of Men, who is Chairman of the Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships
and Awards at the University of Florida, Gainesville.
