New scholarship form pushes deadline ahead . By Randy Lyons StaffReporter University of Ncbraska-Lincoln students who want to apply for schol arships for the 1988-89 school year must submit applications before Fri day to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. Lynn Ford, assistant director of scholarships at the financial aid of fice, said the deadline is much earlier than previous years because the new applications, designed by the office, do not require information from a Financial Aid Form. Ford said the scholarships require the applicant to show academic eligi bility. Academic eligibility is based on the student’s percentile rank in their class within their college, she said. Applicants also should havea3.0 grade point average or higher, Ford said. Students are not required to put income information on the applica tion, but 90 percent of the scholarships require the student to also show finan cial need. Leadership qualities and college activities arc also important because they help break ties between appli cants, Ford said. Students who have the most need will qualify for the scholarships, she said. Ford said a major difference between ihc F AF and the new applica tions is that the new application does not ask for asset information. The FAF assumes a portion of the assets are available when determining how much a family can contribute to the education, she said. “This lets the office look at the cash available for educational purposes and not liquid assets,” she said. Ford said students should pick up ■ the applications immediately, allow ing »hem time to confer with parents about financial information that may be needed if they are dependent stu dents. Applications may be picked up at Administration Building 22. Osborne s raise approved REGENT from Page 3 [ him that Omtvedt’s salary was higher i than his own. “Obviously, I wouldn’t have rcc- 1 ommcndcd the salary if it did bother I me,” he said. “Paying well is some- | thing we must do to keep good i people.” i Omtvedt said he was surprised about his new salary. < Omtvedt, who had been a UNL 1 professororadministratorsince 1975, < said although he was offered more ? money by other universities, he 5 wanted to stay at Nebraska because the job offers new challenges. Omtvedt said he is optimistic about the future of the Institute of Agricul ture and Natural Resources. The institute needs to emphasize natural resources more, he said. Omtvedt said the institute will have to adjust to the “very exciting” changes agriculture will go through in the near future. Dale Vanderholm was named to Omtvedt’s former post as interim dean and director of the agriculture experiment station and agriculture research division. In other regents business, James Moylan of Omaha was named as board chairman for 1988. He takes the place of Margaret Robinson of Nor folk. Kcrmit Hansen of Elkhom was named vice chairman.
