In order to respond to discussions concerning the identification of students from disadvantaged backgrounds and their transition to colleges and universities, the Committee on School/College Relations of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools requested member and candidate institutions of higher education to describe their programs and policies regarding disadvantaged students. Each statement from the institutions--which range from vocational and technical schools, private community and 4-year colleges and universities, to state universities-- includes information on: nature and support of the program, admissions requirements, testing requirements, provision for fee remission, type and amount of financial aid available, timing of application and notification date, special recommendations required, status of student while in program, history of program and evidence of effectiveness, name, title and telephone number of program director. The indexes are alphabetical by institution and alphabetical by state. (JS)
