On the Mayor’s Scholarship Agreement of October 27

Inadditiontothespeakersquotedbelowandonthenextpage,MayorEdwardRendellandCityCouncilPresidentJohnF.StreettookpartinapressconferenceatCityHallonTuesday,October27,toannounceanewagreementbetweentheCityandtheUniversity.Theagreementitself,signedthatmorning,isgivenverbatimonpages5and6.Inhisoff-the-cuffremarkstheMayoremphasizedthatthenewagreementdoesnotaffectthelawsuitscheduledforhearingNovember23,inwhichPennandtheCityaredefendants.

Asmostofyouknow,wehavebeeninvolvedforsometimeindiscus-sionswithCityofficials,withcommunityleadersandwithmembersofPhiladelphia’sdelegationtotheGeneralAssemblyregardingtheMayor’sScholarshipProgram. WealsocommittedourselvestoaseparateandcomprehensivereviewofouradmissionsprocessandourrelationshipwithPhiladelphiastudents. OutofthatprocesshascomeareaffirmationoftheimportanceoftheUniversity’sPhiladelphiaidentityandourcommitmenttoattractPhila-delphiastudentstoourcampus,beyondanylegalrequirement. WerecognizethatPhiladelphiastudentscontributesignificantlytothespecialcharacteroftheUniversityofPennsylvania.AsIhavesaidbefore,theCity and theUniversity standon commonground; our futures areintertwined.Infact,ifPennistoachieveitsmissioninthisregion,acrosstheCommonwealthandasaleadinginternationalresearchinstitution,wewillcontinuetoneedthespecialcontributionstoPenn’sintellectuallifemadebystudentsfromPhiladelphia.Forthatreason,webelievethatourMayor’sScholarshipobligationrepresentsthe“floor”ofoursupportforPhiladelphiastudentsandnotthe“ceiling.”Today’sannouncementisclearevidenceofourongoingcommitment. LetmenowquicklycoverthemajorpointsinanewagreementwehavereachedwiththeCityofPhiladelphia.

• Firstof all, theagreement reaffirms that the full extentof theUniversity’slegalobligationtoprovidescholarshipsunderthe1977Ordinanceistoprovide,atanyonetime,125full-tuitionscholarships,ortheirfinancialequivalent,toPhiladelphiastudents.• Underthenewagreement,theUniversitywillprovidesubstantialenhancementsforfutureMayor’sScholarshiprecipients.• Perhapsmoreimportantly,PennwillsetnewrecruitmentgoalsforPhiladelphiastudents,generally,andwillprovidemorescholarshipaidtoPhiladelphiastudentswhoneedaidbutwhoarenotselectedasMayor’sScholars.

OurenhancedfinancialassistancepackageforMayor’sScholarswillbeginwiththefreshmanclassenteringtheUniversityinSeptember1993.Mayor’s Scholars will receive the University’s most attractive financial assistance package.Unlikeotherstudents,Mayor’sScholarswillbeofferedanaidpackagebytheUniversitythatwillmeettheirfullcalculatedneedwithnostudentloanobligation. IwanttounderscorethattheseMayor’sScholarshipenhancementsarepartofaseparateagreementbetweenPennandtheCityofPhiladelphiaanddonotaffect,atall,ourlegalobligationunderthe1977Ordinance. AsreflectedinthenewagreementwiththeCity,butseparateagainfromourMayor’sScholarshipobligation,theUniversityalsohaslaunchedanenhancedrecruitmenteffort.ThatprogramisdesignedtoincreasethetotalnumberofPhiladelphiaundergraduatestudentsattheUniversityto500bythe1977academicyear. Thisaggressiverecruitingprogramincludesparticipationincollegefairs,highschoolvisits,mailingstosuperiorstudents,mailingstopublicofficials,on-campusopenhousesandon-campusprogramsforhighschoolstudentsandtheirparents. Wealsohaveproducedabeautifulnewfour-colorbrochurethatanswersthequestionsmostfrequentlyaskedbystudentsandtheirparentsabouttheMayor’sScholarshipProgram.Copiesofthebrochureareavailableheretoday.Copiesalreadyhavebeendistributedtostudentsaspartofourexpandedhighschoolvisitationprogram,andtocivicandschoolleadersthroughouttheCity. AsImentionedearlier,ourcommitmenttoPhiladelphiastudentsisnotlimitedtoourMayor’sScholarshipProgram.Whiletherearecurrentlyabout170Mayor’sScholarsoncampus,ourtotalnumberofPhiladelphiaundergraduatesisover300. The reaffirmationof our commitment toPhiladelphia students alsoincludesanincreaseinthegrantaidtoPhiladelphiastudentswhoarenotselectedasMayor’sScholars.Forexample,Philadelphiafreshmenenroll-inginSeptember1993whoneedfinancialaidbutwhoarenotMayor’sScholarswilleachreceive$500moreofscholarshipaidthantheywouldhavereceivedhadtheynotbeenfromPhiladelphia.

Ed. Note: In addition to his prepared statement (verbatim below), State Representative Anthony Williams, who heads the Philadelphia delegation to the legislature in Harrisburg, said: “.....Itismybeliefthatwithallthevaryingopinions,andtherewillbemany,withregardtothisagreement,thattheprimarybodythatitimpactsmostimportantlyarePhiladelphiastudents.FormanyyearsPhiladelphiastudents...did not see the vision, the possibility nor the opportunity ofaccesstotheUniversityofPennsylvaniaiftheydidnothaveabundlefulofmoneyaswellascertainSATscores.Well,wecan’ttakecareoftheSATscores,butwecertainlycantakecareofthemoney;Ibelievethis
