Extractions: September 11 Scholarship Fund Gov. Graves joins with Kansas business community to announce scholarship fund for children of September 11 victims First gift: $1 million from Kansas' Koch Industries TOPEKA, KS (September 19, 2001)Gov. Bill Graves today joined forces with Kansas business and industry to create an educational assistance fund for children and families of victims of the September 11 terrorist attack. To launch the fund, Graves said that Koch Industries, through its chairman and CEO, Charles Koch, has contributed $1 million. As the relief effort continues in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania we are gratified by the spirit and the generosity of the American people and the outstanding work of the thousands of volunteers and relief agencies involved," Graves said. "But beyond the immediate relief, we must not forget those family members whose lives were devastated by these events. Among those are many children whose parents were lost and who now may need a helping hand." This extraordinary commitment from Koch Industries and its employees from around the world speaks eloquently to the generosity of Kansans. It is our hope that other Kansas companies and individuals will follow their lead and help ensure future educational opportunity for the victims surviving children and family members, Graves said.

Extractions: US State Government Aid The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to apply for most state loan, grant and scholarship programs, in addition to the federal loans and grants. When you submit the FAFSA to the US Department of Education, they forward the information on the form to the state student assistance agency. Each state has a different FAFSA submission deadline. If you submit your FAFSA by March 1, you will be in time for all state deadlines, other than Michigan. If you miss the deadline, you will be ineligible to receive state aid for the entire academic year. Procedures for applying for state prepaid tuition programs and the national guard differ from state to state. The amount of information provided on the state web sites varies from state to states. Some states provide comprehensive information about residency requirements, loan, grant, scholarship and prepaid tuition programs and other state aid programs. Others provide minimal information. We recommend visiting the sites for both your state of residence and for the states of the colleges to which you are applying. A B C D ...

The essay "Is Politics in Education Here to Stay?" will provide you with an overview of the issue, a bit of history, and a look at governance structures. You will also find recommended strategies for superintendentsfrom superintendentsin dealing successfully with the politics of education.
