monies the old fashion way. At a certain time of the year LNESC sends out
matching funds information to all councils who in turn following the guidelines
set by the LNSF program, submit their monies for matching purposes. Thereby, a
council who would otherwise give a $400 scholarship, may now be able to give an

The Posse
Foundation identifies public
high school students with extraordinary
academic and leadership potential who may be overlooked by traditional college
selection processes. Posse’s partner colleges and universities award Posse
Scholars four-year, full-tuition leadership scholarships. These Scholars
graduate at a rate of 90 percent and make a visible difference on campus and
throughout their professional careers.
From September through December each year, Posse conducts
the Dynamic Assessment Process (DAP), a unique evaluation method designed to
identify young leaders who might be missed by traditional admissions criteria,
but who can excel at selective colleges and universities.
Using non-traditional forums to evaluate potential, DAP
offers students an opportunity to demonstrate their intrinsic leadership
abilities, their skill at working in a team setting, and their motivation and
desire to succeed.
DAP has proven to be an extremely effective tool for identifying
outstanding young leaders. In a three-part process, including large group and
individual interviews, Posse staff and university partner administrators
ultimately select a diverse group of 10 students for each college or
university, thus forming a Posse.

New financial aid announcement from Harvard
Visit the Harvard Financial-aid Office. They are eager to help you and your family to understand the Harvard University
financial aid programs and to assist you in finding ways to meet your college costs. Their goal is to work with each family
to ensure access to the Harvard education students have worked so hard to secure. All of their financial aid is awarded on
the basis of demonstrated financial need--there are no academic, athletic or merit-based awards. Harvard meets the full need
of every student, including international students, for all four years. Building on the success of the Harvard Financial
Aid Initiative (HFAI), which eliminated the parental contribution from families earning $60,000 or less, Harvard recently
announced major financial aid enhancements to ensure greater affordability for middle- and upper-middle income families. Beginning in the
2008–09 academic year, parents with incomes of $180,000 or less will be asked to contribute significantly less to the
cost of a Harvard education. Additionally, home equity will no longer be considered in determining a family’s ability
to contribute and students will not be expected to take out loans, which will be replaced by need-based Harvard scholarship. In making the announcement, Harvard’s president Lawrence H. Summers said, “When only
ten percent of the students in elite higher education come from families in the lower half of the income distribution, we
are not doing enough. We are not doing enough in bringing elite higher education to the lower half of the income distribution.”
The Ivy League school's governing board said grants will be substituted for loans for families that
make less than $100,000 per year.
Parents who earn less than $60,000 also will no longer be expected to make a financial
contribution to fund their child's education at Brown.
The policy reduces loans for all students who receive financial
aid, regardless of income. The provisions apply to current students as well as next fall's incoming class.
The new
policy will bump Brown's budget for financial aid by 20 percent to more than $68 million next year.
Harvard, Princeton
and Stanford are among the schools that have replaced loans with grants recently.
