thus escaped unharmed. All this goes to show that we are living in a
truly violent age and, just as God's people everywhere, the students need
to be remembered in your prayers.
Those of us who are on the faculty here always look forward to meeting
you ministers (and your wives) when you arrive here on the Ministerial
Refreshing Program. The visiting ministers are constantly telling me and
others here how happy they are to personally see Ambassador back on the
track. They notice that the A.C. students
a good example in their
dress and grooming and in the way they conduct themselves on the campus
and when they visit with the brethren in the local churches.
Thanks for your continued prayers for the College--that we may maintain
the steady course set by the Founder of Ambassador.

Y.O.U. AND NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS
The time has come for us to write to you regarding both Y.O.U. and national
(formerly regional) scholarships. As a result of the changes that have
taken place in the structure of both Y.0.U. and regional (national) scholar
ships, it is necessary to slightly alter what we did before.
In order for a student to receive a Y.O.U. scholarship, he or she must be
recommended by his or her local minister and must be an outstanding person
who has contributed a great deal to church activit s.
Preliminary selections will be made in concert with the Y.O.U. office, the
Financial Aids Office and the minister's evaluation. The college adminis
tration will make the final decisions. Both full and half-tuition scholar
ships will be awarded this year the same as last year.
National scholarships will be awarded to applicants who have high potential
for future use in God's Work. Applicants should have good character,
leadership potential, a serving attitude and academic qualifications.
This award is a one-year, full-tuition scholarship. There are provisions
which will be explained to each recipient. I think it advisable to say
here that the selection standards of Ambassador are going up each year as
more people realize what God's college has to offer.
The admissions team
is
anticipating some
600
applicants for the fall of
'81. We already have over 200! Needless to say, the number of students
who apply is far greater than the number of those we are able to accept.
Therefore, we must be very selective concerning those we accept. Ministers
should not feel they have to recommend someone just because the scholarship
is available. Rather, consider that we are looking for highly motivated,
academically qualified, financially sound people of good character who
fully intend to finish the four-year program. By financially sound I mean
a person who could arrive at Ambassador College with US $2,000 or the
equivalent amount including scholarships.
I look forward to receiving your recommendation. Please send it to the
Financial Aids Office.
Arthur Suckling, Financial Aids Officer
