Reference Book

A reference book of academic and
special assistance programs offered by 900
graduate and professional schools for minority
group students is being distributed to many
college guidance counselors.

The book, "Graduate and Professional
School Opportunities for Minority Students,"
contains information on programs and services
tailored for minority group students.
Information on their programs has been
provided by the 900 schools included in the
book.

Described in the publication are each
school's admission standards, financial aid
programs, and various fellowship programs for
Blacks and other minority groups. Some
schools also give the percentage of minority
group students currently enrolled in their
programs.

Plans included free distribution of more
than 17,000 copies of the book during the
coming academic year to students, libraries and
college counselors.
