PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, February 15, 1980
Page 6
The Regional Scholarship should be awarded to the most outstanding pros
pective Ambassador College student in each area. The person you nominate
must have high character, leadership potential, be service-oriented, have
a balanced personality, and a record of participation in various activities
which might include Y.O.U., but is not limited to it. The nominee must be
able to meet normal admission requirements of the College.
Each of you could be contacted by college-aged people in your area. If ih
your opinion someone in your area meets the requirements for the award,
send a letter of recommendation to: the Regional Y.O.U. Coordinator if
you are in the U.S.; the Area Coordinator if you are in Canada; or the
Regional Director in all other international areas. Each of these men will
then select the top applicant from those names submitted. The United
States is the only area in which the Y.O.U. Regional Coordinator will be
making the selection. Final selection must be made by June 30, 1980, so
please plan accordingly. Although most applicants will probably come from
the 18-24 year old age group, the Regional Scholarship is not confined to
this group.
This award is a full-tuition scholarship for one year, worth $1350, but is
not available to those students who apply for the Biblical Diploma program
unless they already possess an undergraduate degree and plan to stay at
Ambassador for a minimum of two years. Recipients of a scholarship could
apply the amount of their award toward the $2000 minimum that students are
required to have for their first year at Ambassador. After their first
year, we will be able to implement other programs to assist them toward
completion of their degree program, if they qualify.
Youth Opportunities United Scholarships
In addition to the Regional Scholarship, we would like to give you addi
tional information about the Youth Opportunities United Scholarship. Both
full-tuition and half-tuition scholarships are awarded for outstanding
participation in the Y.O.U. program. Applicants for this scholarship
should mail letters of recommendation from their church minister and local
Y.O.U. coordinator to the Financial Aids Office. These letters should
include all Y.O.U. activities participated in, including the Youth
Conference and S.E.P., high school activities, and offices held in Y.O.U.
For both of these programs, one of the most important considerations is
the ministerial evaluation. Your input is often the deciding factor on
scholarship awards, since you know the applicant personally.
If you have any questions about these programs, please contact me at (213)
577-5280.

MEDIA SERVICES UPDATE
We are currently finishing production on Mr. Armstrong's latest "World
Tomorrow" television program, the first of a series on the "1980s in
Prophecy." In his series Mr. Armstrong previews the coming decade through
the perspective of Bible prophecy, with the initial program highlighting
his recent trip to Peking. This program includes the first public showing
of film footage taken during Mr. Armstrong's recent trip to China.
