An Introduction to Peru State College

Peru State was founded in 1867 and is the oldest college in Nebraska and the third oldest teacher-training institution established west of the Missouri River . Peru was founded the same year Nebraska became a state. For more than a century thousands of young people have crossed the Campus of a Thousand Oaks and have gone forth to become teachers and leaders in business and industry in Nebraska and throughout the nation

The people of Nebraska have made the facilities of this College available to students at a minimum of personal cost. The taxpayers of the state bear a major portion of the cost of college education to the students, exclusive of personal expenses.

Peru State has an "open door" admission policy admitting all graduates of accredited high schools. The philosophy of the staff at Peru State is that every person is entitled to a chance to succeed at the collegiate level. All who have ability and a willingness to work have an excellent opportunity for success at Peru State.

The College staff believe in academic excellence, in opportunities for personal growth, and in student self-determination consistent with the principles of a democratically organized society. Administrative intent is that college students be involved in the decisions made on campus which affect them. The educational experience provided by the College is designed to enable students to learn, equip themselves for meaningful careers, and become productive members of society .

Peru State students have an opportunity to know their teachers well and to become working partners with the staff and other students . Living with other young people in college residences offers many opportunities for friendship, growth, and personal development.

The college faculty and staff are here to serve you . We welcome the opportunity to assist you in realizing your personal, educational and career objectives.

General Information HISTORY

In 1867, the same year Nebraska became a state, the new state ' s 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 extended the normal schools from two years to four in 1921 , and authori z ed 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 II, 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 State for degree requirements at Peru State, or other institutions of higher learning throughout the nation

In 1949, the legislature authori z ed the Nebraska Sta t e Colleges to confer the Bachelor of Arts degree . The Bachelor of Science degree was authorized 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 meet the changing higher education needs of peopl e 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 consists of two or more types of aid but may not exceed the student's financial need. A financial aid package may include PELL Grant, National Direct Student Loan, College Work Study and Scholarships

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR MAINTAINING FINANCIAL ELIGIBILITY

Every student receiving financial assistance from any Federally funded and/or college Administered 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".

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 1. A student is required to submit new application material each academic year

FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS

Pell Grant - Formerly Basic Educational Opportunity Grant. The Higher Education Amendments of 1980 changed the name Basic Educational Opportunity Grant to Pell Grant. The size of the grant is determined after considering the cost of attending the college and the Student Aid Index.

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.

College Work-Study is intended primarily for students from low-income families and permits them to earn a part of their college expenses. During the time they are attending classes full time, the student can work a maximum of 15 hours per week. During vacation periods the students may be allowed to work 40 hours per week . Work-Study jobs are usually on-campus, and are vital to the efficient operation of the College.
