J. 7. A .S. Caco Report 1975 Ao you ahoultl know, and probably may not, the Jewish Vocational Aid Society is functioning. Our goal has always been and still is to help needy students fulfill educational requirements so that they may meet their potential and become self- supporting members of our community. With an absence of our own manpower to raise oxtra monies, the bulk of our money has been given to the Combined Jewish Philanthropies—in trust. Only the income is used. As your own income haa shrunk or well as that of even the Ford Foundation, which has cut its allocations this year from 2 million to 1 million, so too has the income of the J.V.A.S. But in onito of that, from 'Sept. 1974 to the present time, we have allocated J3450 to 10 students. Ao in the past, we review thoroughly the cases submitted to us by the Jewish Vocational Service. Among 10 beneficiaries this year are some who have been helped by us before. They have proved themselves worthy and we want to see them nearer their goal. One young nan, who graduated 4th in his olasc in llorth- oastern, is now completing his 3d year at' Hedical School. Another graduates this year from Loewll Tochnologioal Institute. Even though he has had only a B- average, he is now equipped to get a luorative in the chemistry field. A young lady, who emigrated from Egypt six years ago and who i3 now an American citizen, is ot the end of her Junior year at the B.U. School of Nursing. She ha3 worked during any free timo os a dietician's aide and nurse's aide at the St. Elisabeth's Hospital. And another girl in completing her first year of a two year course to become a dental hygieniot. A young man, whose father after 30 years of work at the Boston Navy Yard has been let off, in ill health now,and ablo to find only short-term poorly paying jobs, i3 attending the University of '/isoonsin in the School of Business Administration. He questioned his attendance at a school so far away. Since the U. of Wisconsin is a state school, it was found to be no more expensive for him to go thero than to commute to Boston University from his home in Randolph. You can nee from this cursory review that our qualifications for assistance remain the same. We put no limitation on cex, on ago, on creed,- oven on marks. Wo help the average student as well as the A otudont. lie must reside in the Groater Boston area, and he must prove his need and worthiness. Our financial assistance usually has to be augmented by that of other philanthropic organisations and often by commercial loans. But the student is launched on his way toward his goal.
