Jerome L. is a third-year student
at Wayne State University's medi-
cal school. His professors rate him
among the brightest in his class.
Although Jerome works hard at
a part-time job, and receives some
assistance from the university, he
needs an additional $1,400 to com-
plete his senior year.

and living costs. This, plus the
balance of her small savings, will

funds she needs for school next
year.
