PRINTED 1957 REPRINTED 1958 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON: 1958 FOREWORD IN RESPONSE TO requests for more accurate and complete information about financial aid for college students, the Division of Higher Education, Office of Education, undertook its Student Assistance Project for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information about institutional student financial aid. This project is under the general direction of Ralph C. M. Flynt, Director, Higher Education Programs Branch, and under the supervision of J. Harold Goldthorpe, assistant director of the student assistance project. The present bulletin is the third in a planned series of 5 publications of the project, all of which are listed on page ii. It is concerned with the several forms of institutional financial aid, such as fellowships, loans, and employment for graduate students in the academic year 1955-56. This bulletin is the result of several conferences and many discussions between staff members of the Office of Education and interested groups. The project has had, from its inception, the valuable counsel of a national advisory committee who helped to formulate the original questionnaire and who made many suggestions for the directory. The members of the committee are: HOMER D. BABBIDGE, Jr., Director, Financial Aids Office, Yale University. J. KENNETH LITTLE, Vice President, Student Affairs, University of Wisconsin. W. S. MOLLENKOPF, Research Associate, Educational Testing Service. In addition to the committee, several deans of graduate schools and heads of departments were consulted about the preliminary summaries of the student aid resources for graduate students at their institutions. 52087 0-60- -17 1269 The author was also assisted in the preparation of the copy by Jane Conger, Alma J. DeWitt, Barbara A. Ferraro, Alice C. Humphrey, Dorothy C. Merrifield, and Margaret R. Wrenn. It is hoped that this directory will prove of value to college seniors planning to embark upon graduate work, and to those who have already received their bachelor's or first professional degree and desire to continue their studies. It should also be of value to department heads and graduate school deans who are consulted by students and to administrators interested in the comparative analysis of graduate student aid programs.

FINANCIAL AID FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS: GRADUATE INTRODUCTION This directory is based upon data assembled by questionnaires sent during May 1956 to 1,855 institutions of higher education listed in the Education Directory, Part 3, Higher Education. The student aid data sought included graduate fellowships, loans, and employment for the academic year 1955-56, Similarly, the data with respect to earned degrees, student enrollments, tuition and required fees, and board and room charges were those reported for the same year. If an institution is not listed in this directory, it (1) may not offer graduate work, (2) may offer graduate work but grant no financial assistance, or (3) may not have answered the questionnaire. An earlier publication by the Office of Education in 1951 (Scholarships and Fellowships Available at Institutions of Higher Education, Bulletin 1951, No. 16, by Theresa Birch Wilkins), based upon data for the academic year 1949-50, indicated that 265 institutions of higher education awarded 13,659 fellowships having a total value of $9,266,966. Figures in the present directory indicate that 330 colleges and universities awarded 24,885 fellowships in the academic year 1955-56, which had a total value of $18,239,150. Data on graduate fellowships are listed under the college or university, by major field of study where applicable, together with the average amount of the award.
