CISP PROVIDES FUNDING The Council on International Studies and Program (CISP) provides limited financial support for a number of initiatives and projects that further international education and scholarship. CISP invites requests for support from faculty and student groups. Please limit requests to no more than two pages of text plus a budget page. Each request, to be sent with a cover letter to the Chair of the Council, c/o Office of International Education, 544 Capen Hall, Box 601604, should clarify proposed total budget amount for the project or initiative, how much Council support is being sought, other sources of secured or prospective support, and how the funds requested from the Council will be used. CISP reviews applications monthly through the academic year. In considering requests, the Council 1) encourages requesters to seek matching funds, 2) discourages requests that seek to defray travel expenses by individuals of the payroll of the university, and 3) seeks assurance that any program that takes place on campus will be open to the university community. FINANCIAL AID AWARENESS MONTH Free college financial aid services are available to students and parents throughout January. The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (NYSHESC) and the New York State Financial Aid Administrators Association (NYSFAAA) are sponsoring a toll-free hotline (1-800-689-1669) noon-7 p.m. weekdays until Jan. 31 to answer questions about financial aid, including filling out an application.

READING CLINIC OFFERS PROGRAM UB Reading Clinic seeks children with serious reading and/or learning problems for enrollment in the diagnostic and remedial program that begins Feb. 1. Children may be referred to the low-cost, full-service, after-school program only by their parents, who are responsible for ensuring that the children attend the remediation sessions. While most children seen in the clinic are age 8 or older, the clinic has a strong interest in working with younger children considered to be at risk of failing to learn how to read. The after-school program will offer low-cost, diagnostic services during two morning sessions for $150. Diagnosis will be followed by one-on-one remediation sessions at an additional cost of $150, which covers books, supplies and other materials. For more information, call 645-2470.
