No endorsement should be assumed for any organization due to its inclusion on this page. From the Family Research Council/Ed Facts, 2/2/01 America's National Security Demands Education Reform A shortage of well-qualified math and science professionals coupled with poor math and science test scores of American students constitute a "crisis" in the minds of the 14-member U.S. Commission on National Security. The panel named education reform as its No. 2 priority last week, second only to investment innovations. "If the United States does not stop and reverse negative educational trends-the general teacher shortage, and the downward spiral in science and math education and performance-it will be unable to maintain its position of global leadership over the next century," wrote the Commission in its third and final report of a three-year study. Some of the Commission's recommendations to the President Bush and the 107th Congress include: Reduced-interest loans and scholarships for math and science students A National Security Teaching Program to foster excellence in science and math teaching Increased funding for professional development of math and science teachers

US State Government Aid The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to apply for most state loan, grant and scholarship programs, in addition to the federal loans and grants. When you submit the FAFSA to the US Department of Education, they forward the information on the form to the state student assistance agency. Each state has a different FAFSA submission deadline. If you submit your FAFSA by March 1, you will be in time for all state deadlines, other than Michigan. If you miss the deadline, you will be ineligible to receive state aid for the entire academic year. Procedures for applying for state prepaid tuition programs and the national guard differ from state to state. The amount of information provided on the state web sites varies from state to states. Some states provide comprehensive information about residency requirements, loan, grant, scholarship and prepaid tuition programs and other state aid programs. Others provide minimal information. We recommend visiting the sites for both your state of residence and for the states of the colleges to which you are applying. A B C D ...
