Scholarship
locator firm
aids students
By DIANA SULTENFUSS
Battalion Reporter
Students who don’t know where
to begin looking for scholarships
may be in luck.
Student College Aid, a nation
wide scholarship locator service
based in Houston, tries to match
college students to scholarships,
Ed Rosenwasser, owner of the
firm, said.
The firm’s computer data base
contains more than $500 million
worth of scholarships from more
than 250,000 different sources.
The student answers a list of
questions about his college major,
interests, church affiliation and
other items. Unlike many others,
these scholarships are not based
on scholastic achievement or
financial need.
For a fee of $45 the computer
matches the data to the scholar
ships for which the student is qual
ified. The average scholarship
awarded is $1,000, he said.
An average student usually re
ceives a list of 10 to 15 names and
addresses of scholarship sources.
However, the maximum number
of sources the student receives is
25.
If Student College Aid doesn’t
find more than five sources, the
student receives a refund and a list
of any sources found.
Rosenwasser said he formed the
service because he saw a need de
veloping for it. “It’s primarily
aimed at middle class students,”
he said. “The rich don’t need it
and the poor can get state and fed
eral aid.”
One-fourth of all scholarships, a
total of $125 million, are not used
every year, he said.
It took a year for eight people to
;collect the information and have it
]programmed into the computer,
he said.

Sherwood
To introduce you to Sherwood
This week’s special:
Ii
At Sherwood, we don't exploit technology for its own sake. We exploit it for the sound.
Certified Performance — design meets reality.
The "CP” designation found at the end of Sherwood’s model numbers stands for Certified
Performance. Quite simply, it means the actual performance of that individual product is
certified. In writing. Every "CP” series component undergoes a battery of extensive tests well
beyond normal quality control procedures. Each unit is fine tuned to its maximum
performance level. The key test results are recorded on a certificate and shipped with each
unit.
They’re on the outside of the carton, in plain sight. Signed by the technician who
performed the tests. So you know exactly what you’re getting, before you get it home.
We stand behind what we make.
Sherwood products are built to perform for a long, long time. Because our components
are extensively hand checked before leaving the factory, they’re much less likely to require
repairs or adjustments later. Which is why our warranty is so strong. In fact three years parts
and labor on all of our electronics. We know it will perform for you because it already has
for us.
Take a close look at the components we have to offer. There’s quality, honesty and value
built into every one. And what comes out is great sound. Magnificent sound.
Sherwood sound.
