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 River-one 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 legislator, 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 Colleges . In 1963 the name was changed to Peru State College .
When the United States entered World War 11 , the College offered its 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 authori z ed the Nebraska State Colleges to confer the Bachelor of Arts degree The Bachelor of Science degree was authori zed in 1965. Emerging from the role of a single - purpose teacher ' s college, the College 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 m e et the changing higher education need s of people in southeast Nebraska

FINANCIAL AID
The purpose of financial assistance is to provide students with sufficient funds to meet the costs of obtaining a college education beyond what they and their parents are expected to provide . Thus, financial aid enables many students from low and middle income families to attend college who could not otherwise afford that opportunity .
Most assistance granted is awarded according to the financial need of the applicant. (Financial need is the difference between the money a student and his parents can provide for an education and the costs of that education ) To be considered for 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 qualified 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 for one academic year A financial package is worked out on the basis of a careful estimate of the applicant's estimated resources and educational costs for the year.
A package usually cons i sts 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 Work-Study , $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 Student Eligibility Index This Index is determined from a Financial Statement which is a part of the Application.
PROCEDURES FOR BEOG
1 Obtain a Financial Statement (either the ACT-Family Financial Statement or CSS-Financial Aid Form) from your high school counselor or the College Financial Aid Office.
2. Complete the Financial Statement as per instructions indicating that you are applying for the BEOG by marking yes to Item 92 of the ACT Form or Item 83 of the CSS form . Then mail the Form to the appropriate processing center.
3. The center will process your application and return to you a threecopy "Student Eligibility Report." SEA
4 Present this SEA 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
Requirements for Maintaining Financial Eligibility . Every student receiving financial assistance from any Federally funded and/or college Ad-
FINANCIAL AID
ministered Financial Aid Program is required to maintain satisfactory academic standing and progress. The standards for satisfactory academic standing are published under "scholarship standards" in the academic information section of this catalog . The standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress as defined for Financial Assistance are published in the "College Student Handbook" and in the "Financial Aids Student Handbook."
SCHOLARSHIPS
