SCIIdLARSHIPS OFFERED BY PSI IOTA XI The Alpha Delta chapter of Psi lota Xi, through ita National or--1 ganization of 90 chapters, is offering 24 scholarships to Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio high school girls. The scholarships will enable them to spend one we,ek next July at a pre-college institute at Purdue University speech and hearing clinic. The workship is being ficlinic. The workship is being Purdue from the national Psi rota Xi philanthropic fund. The pre-college institute is designed as an active recruitment program to help meet the critical shortage of speech and hearing theapists. Through the novel workshop, potential college stuednts will be familiarized with the speech and hearing profession, the employment possibilities, and the training necessary. Twenty-four carefully selected girls completing their junior year in high school, living in and near communities where Psi lota Xi chapters are located, will be awarded the scholarship. The girls will live in the Purdue union building with all expenses paid from July 7-11, attending lectures in the mornings and serving as cadet clinicaians in the afternoons. The scholarship winners will assist Purdue faculty therapists in the treatment of the more than 100 handicapped children attending the sunnmer speech and hearihg“T&imic held each summer on the Puraue campus. It is believed the workshop will serve to interest prospective technicians in this field by the observation of therapy techniques used with very variety of speech and hearing handicapped children, in a situation which simulates the public school therapist’s program. Application blanks will be sent out fMarch 1, on which qualifications for the scholarships will be listed.
