SNCC's educational program began in 1960 as the organization became concerned about the education of Black college students who were expelled or suspended because of their involvement in civil rights activities. The Education Dept. was created in 1964 in an effort to assist SNCC staff members in getting scholarships so they could return to college after working for the organization in the South. Carole Merritt directed the department and was quite successful in raising scholarship funds for civil rights workers.
