General Information

HISTORY

The same year Nebraska became a state, the new state legislature provided for the establishment of a training school for teachers or normal school at Peru. At that time only two other such institutions existed west of the Missouri Riverone in Kansas and one in California . The school's beginning actually dates back to December 2, 1865, when its predecessor institution, Mount Vernon College, was organized by a group of early settlers who resolved to place the school under the "care and management of the Methodist Episcopal Church".

Colonel T. J. Majors, a leader in the War between the States and a state legi slator, proposed that the school be made the state university . Although the offer was rejected, the state legislature on June 20, 1867, did accept the school as a "normal school" several months before the state university was established. For 38 years after the Peru school became a normal school, it was the only teacher education institution in the state

As Nebraska ' s population increased, the legislature provided for three other normal schools - at Kearney in 1905, at Wayne in 1910, and at Chadron in 1911. The legislature extended the normal schools from two years to four in 1921, and authorized these institutions to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Education, Bachelor of Science in Education, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Education. At the same time, the names of the schools were changed from State Normal Schools to State Teachers Co lleges In 1963 the name was changed to Peru State College.

When the United States entered World War 11, the College offered it s staff and facilities to the government for the training of officers for the armed forces. The first unit of men in the Navy V-12 program arrived on July 1, 1943. During the time the nearly 500 trainees received college training, the College operated an accelerated program for both civilian students and naval trainees. Since that time many of these trainees have used the hours of college credit earned at Peru for degree requirements at Peru, or other institutions of higher learning throughout the nation.

In 1949, the legislature authorized the Nebraska State Colleges to confer the Bache lor of Arts degree. The Bachelor of Science degree was authorized in 1965. Emerging from the role of a single-purpose teacher's college, the Co ll ege is now serving as a regional state college with many and diverse two and four-year programs in a wide variety of fields, serving to meet the changing higher education needs of people in southeast Nebraska.

MISSION

The mission of Peru State College is to offer instruction in se lected programs and courses of study; to conduct research; and to provide public service.

FINANCIAL AID

The purpose of financial assistance is to provide students with sufficient funds to meet all costs of obtaining a college education beyond what they and their parents are able to provide. Thus, financial aid enables many students from low and middle income families to attend college who could not otherwise afford that opportunity .

Any assistance granted is awarded according to the financial need of the applicant. (Financial need is the difference be t ween the money a student and his parents can provide tor an education and the costs of that education .) To be considered tor assistance, the applicant must demonstrate financial need.

Financial assistance to qualified applicants is available in the form of loans, grants, scholarships, and college work. A student who qualifies for one program of financial aid may not necessarily qualify for another.

"Financial packaging" permits the Director of Financial Aid to tailor a program of financial assistance to meet the monetary needs of the individual student tor one academic year. A financial package i s worked out on the basis of a careful estimate of the applicant's estimated resources and educational costs for the school year

A package usually consists of two or more types of aid and normally is equal to the student's financial need. A typical package, in which the need is $1000 might

be as follows: National Direct Loan, $350; scholarship, $150; and College WorkStudy, $500.

Funds for the operation of the different financial aid programs are drawn from Federal and Institutional sources.

APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Any student who needs financial assistance, or desires to apply for a scholarship, should contact the Director of Financial Aid. Students are advised to begin the application procedure well before the deadline date, because establishing financial need is often a lengthy process. Applications for financial assistance for the coming year should be submitted to the Financial Aids office by April 15.

FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS

Basic Educational Opportunity Grant - BEOG. The Higher Education Amendments of 1972 established a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant. The size of the grant is determined after considering the cost of attending the college and the Family Educational contribution. This family contribution is determined from a Financial Statement which is a part of the Application.

PROCEDURESFORBEOG

4. Present this SER to the College Financial Aid Office.

5. The Financial Aid Office, using guidelines established by the U.S Office of Education, will determine the size of your grant.

6. The BEOG funds will then be distributed to you through the college .

Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grants provide for the giving of grants to students who are determined to be of exceptional financial need. Students in this category will be of such need that they will be unable to attend college without financial aid of this type.

The SEOG amounts range from $200 to $1000 a year, and can be no more than one-half of the total assistance given a student. The grant is "matched" with other financial aid to meet the student's financial need Grants are awarded on a yearly basis, with the maximum duration of a grant being eight semesters.
