This guide suggests that minority applicants to programs in journalism/ communications can most profitably seek aid from several sources: the graduate school of the university to which application is made, National Direct Student Loans, and College Work-Study programs. Foundations, professional associations, state agencies and other organizations not directly associated with any particular university often grant financial aid to students. These organizations try to give aid to students in specific professional fields. This booklet also includes a list of organizations which can provide information about careers in journalism/ communications. (Author/JM)
