"Over the lust five years, the cost of university education has risen dramatically while lit the same time government funding sources — both loans and grant)1 — have generally remained static or declined. Therefore, this additional contribution fronrthe Nate H. Sherman Foundation represents a vitally needed infusion of support for college students who will be receiving their education in coming years," Dr. Wolf, a professional educator himself, stated that the costs of out-state undergraduate education and almost all post' graduate programs have now made it impossible for young people to "work their way through school." Middle class families have been most dramatically affected by these trends and additional funds are still needed, he stated. Those wishing to establish new funds or to contribute to the Beatrice and Nate H. Sherman Scholarship Fund may contact the executive vice president of t|ie Jewish Federation of Omaha at 334-8200.
