AssistantshipsDeserving and capable high school graduates are granted assistantships for stenographic or laboratory- work in the college departments. These awards give financial assistance, excellent experience, and highly desirable professional contact with departmental faculty members. Selections are made by the faculty members concerned, the Scholarship Committee and the Placement Office. Loan FundsThe College maintains a student aid fund ad-ministered by the Student Aid Committee. Loan funds available are the following: 1. The Weber College Faculty Women's Fund, a small loan fund to assist a limited number of students. 2. The Ogden Rotary Club Fund, a sizable loan fund for worthy students. 3. The Wheelwright Student-Faculty Loan Fund, established in 1946 by David R. Wheelwright. The contribution of $2,000 was made with the idea that it be a perpetual trust fund to be loaned to worthy, needy students and also to faculty members. 4. The National Defense Act of 1958 authorized loans to students who are in attendance at, or want to attend, institutions of higher learning and who qualify according to the terms of the Act. Application for these funds may be made to the College Treasurer.
