By Andrew Smith Some students are turning their back on $300 that has been offered to them through the Model Cities Program. Th~e who are eligible and do not apply for th1s financial benefit may be responsible for a cancellation of additional educational incentive grants to 100 other students next semester. John Williams, Assistant Director of the Cooperative Learning Program (CLP) said that members of the San Jose City College staff, referred to as the 'Agency', will receive $30,000 from Model Cities. The money will be given to 100 students who live in the Model Cities area . Each student will receive $150 this semester and another $150 next semester, contingent on completing 7 units of class work with normal progress. Williams said that Model Cities will give another $30,000 for 100 more students next semester if the program works well . According to Williams , there are only 40 or 50 students that have completed all of the required income verification essential to qualifying. Applicants must also live in the Model Cities area and have been a resident for at least one year. The Agency awaits verification of income for approximately 40 other applicants who are the major cause for the delay in getting the money into the hands of qualified students. Armando Moreno, Agency Committee Chairman, and John Williams and Bud Walton , Financial Aids Directors are the people who applied for the money that is being given back to Model Cities from agencies that did not use it as well as out. been have thathas programs for accepting setphased been No deadline applications and the Agency is still waiting in hopes of more students to make the 100 mark. Williams said the checks are expected around the 15th of this month and they should be here no later than early December. It has been suggested by Williams that students act soon to help this ailing program that will aid students y.rhere it ' counts, financially .
