Federal Scholarships

Although the advocates of federal aid to education have devoted most of their energies to lobbying in favor of federal grants to state systems of primary and secondary schooling, many of them also intend to persuade the federal government to take the universities and colleges in hand. A subcommittee of the American Council on Education, for instance, recently recommended to its parent committee that Washington embark upon a program of federal scholarships, to be paid to individual students, that would cost $200,000,000 annually.
