ACCEPT STATE GRANTS UNTIL EARLYIN 1969 Applications for up to $1,200 in Grant assistance (non-repayable financial aid) for college study during 1969-70 at more than 125 colleges and universities in Illinois are available now through the high schools and colleges in Illinois. The Grant program, administered by the Illinois State Scholarship commission, provides aid on a non-competitive basis; that is, applicants are not required to .take tests nor have a minimum class rank. The applicants, who must be citizens and Illinois residents, qualify for Grants based on their financial need, at the Dlinois college, public or private, of their choice. Financial need is determined through a standard financial need analysis procedure which is applied to the information submitted by the applicant and his parents. Grants are available for fulltime, undergraduate study in amounts up to $1,200. The Grant however, may be used only for tuition and mandatory fees; therefore, the Grant cannot be greater than tuition and fees. Grant Applications can be obtained from all high schools and McHenry County college, or by writing directly to the Illinois State Scholarship commission, Box 607, Deerfield, Illinois 60015. The deadline for submitting an Application to the Illinois State Scholarship commission is Feb. 1, 1969. REQUIREMENTS ANNOUNCED FOl DRIVER REQUESTS . Both the social security number and the zip code will be required by law to be shown on all drivers license applications beginning Jan. 1, Secretary of State Paul Powell has reminded Illinois drivers. Failure to include this information will make it necessary to return the application, resulting in inconvenience and delay for the applicant and increased postage expense for the state,-Mr.. Powell pointed out. The requirement affects teen - agers applying for instruction permits as well as adults applying for their first Illinois licenses or renewal of their current license, Secretary Powell said. Persons not having a social security number mayobtainone from their nearest Social Security office, he said. " The social security number is rapidly being used across the nation for purposes not directly connected with the social security because it is probably the of identification available," Mr. Povvell said. « with the steadily increasing use of computers in such fields ait motor vehicles titles, registration and driver licensing, the social security number provides much greater accuracy in cross reference filing of millions of records, and is of substantial help in preventing such things as revocation or suspension of the wrong person's license and obtaining licenses fraudulently," Secretary of State Powell said. The law was amended by the last session of the General Assembly to require the social security number in order to enable Illinois to comply with Federal government requirements dealing with drivers' records, Mr. Powell said. Use of the zip code makes it possible to deliver license expiration notices, drivers licenses and license plates much faster. As an example, Mr. Powell cited the fact that using automated equipment and pre-sorting by zip code enabled his of- ^ltafand mall more than V 000 pre-printed passenger car license applications in nineteen days.
