families revealed that without our help many children migh not even obtain a high school education. Assistance from abroad would enable them to study in secondary schools and colleges. As a result UNWLA Br. 33 in Parma, Ohio became the first branch to sponsor a student. Branches 101 in Chicago and 68 in Syracuse, N.Y soon followed. Beginning with 1972 UNWLA’s Scholarship Program, particularly as regards South America, received the full attention of UNWLA’s newly elected Chairperson for Social Welfare, Dr. Theodozia Sawycka of Utica, N.Y Convinced of the importance of education both for the individual and the Ukrainian community, Dr. Sawycka devoted all her free time outside her professional career as a social worker in a child adoption agency, to the raising of funds for needy Ukrainian youth in South America. Along with fund raising, there was a re-structuring of UNWLA’s scholar ship efforts which had heretofore been somewhat sporadic, decentralized and limited to UNWLA mem bers only. Today, as a result 5 1/2 years of consistent effort, scholarship aid to students in South America is channelled in a regulated fashion, assistance is coordinated and monitored, and duplication of effort has been eliminated to a great extent, as almost all scholarships are administered through UNWLA’s Socal Welfare Department. (It should be noted here that UNWLA branches, members and other individuals also provide scholarships for needy Ukrainian students in Europe. This European scholarship effort is coordinated directly by Mrs. Sophia Andruszkiw of New Jersey). An important fund raising concept introduced since 1972 was UNWLA’s function as a local point for contributions from outside its own membership, in addition to continuing generous contributions from branches and individuals of UNWLA. After all why should not all Ukrainian people be given the opportunity to express their generosity by supporting a talented but poor Ukrainian youth who might otherwise never make the transition from, for example, shepherd to university graduate in agriculture? Indeed, the opportunity to contribute to UNWLA’s Scholarship Program did not go unnoticed by Ukrainians of all ages, backgrounds and incomes. By October 1973 as a result of widespread publicity and word-of-mouth, more than $9,500 had been donated to the Program, from which scholarships were allotted to 64 students. The Scholarship Program provides for two types of donors: a Sponsor contributes $150 per year (for a high school student) or $200 per year (for a college student), is given the "adopted" student’s address and photograph, and establishes close communication with the student. A Benefactor contributes a donation in any amount towards a Scholarship Fund from wl>ich UNWLA awards stipends to students who do notriave individual sponsors. Currently, many groups including church organizations, civic clubs and UNWLA branches are sponsoring a student. Sponsors may indicate preference as to boy or girl, age, and sometimes even career goals. _ , a T o be c o n tin u e d ETERNAL OLENA TELIHA To N.
