offered scholarships to youngsters who live in public housing
projects or other subsidized housing.
The youngsters must graduate from high school and enroll
in college before receiving the awards , which range from $500 for
students who choose a four-year college to $250 for those who go
to community colleges .
The money, left over from federal funding the Housing
Authority has received, is paid directly to the college, not to

that where there is a large congregation of low-income families ,
there is a' need for other services for education, counseling and
job-training.
