Scholarships.—Six scholarships, of the annual value of 
$350 each, are offered to students between the ages of sixteen 
and twenty years, possessing at least the education afforded 
by a regular high school course of recognized standing, or 
its equivalent. Since a scholarship may be reconferred upon 
the original recipient for two additional years, there are 
ordinarily but two scholarships to be awarded each year. All 
scholarships are awarded by a competitive examination held 
on the first Saturday in September, in the administration 
building of the Garden, Tower Grove and Botanical Avenues. 
Application blanks may be obtained at the Director’s office 
and must be returned not later than August 15. Examina- 
tions are held in United States history, English literature, 
arithmetic, algebra, elements of botany and one other science 
(either zodlogy, chemistry, physics, or physiology) to be 
selected by the candidate, and one foreign language (either 
German, French, Spanish, Latin, or Greek) according to the 
training of the candidate. 
Candidates who live at places remote from St. Louis may 
send, with their application, the name and address of the 
principal or a teacher in the nearest high school who will 
be willing to take charge of the examination. All applica- 
tions of this character must be received by the Director not 
later than August 15. The charges for and place of holding 
such an examination must be a matter of mutual arrange- 
ment between the examiner and the student. The Garden 
in no way can assume the slightest responsibility for such 
matters. 
Tuition.—In addition to those Spor, Saree scholar- 
ships, a few suitably prepared pupils will be admitted to the 
regular course at the rate of $50.00 per year. The charge 
for a single course of nine months, or more, is $15.00; for 
one of five or six months, $10.00; and for one of three 
months or less, $5.00. 
Certificate —Upon the satisfactory completion of the regu- 
lar three-years’ course and the ing of such examinations 
as may be required, a student s receive a certificate from 
the Garden, indicating the work accomplished.
