SCHOLARSHIPS, ETC., HELD BY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. 257 



V. (a) Cases have occurred. ' Occasionally the College can be of assistance by 

 obtaining private aid, but as a rule this is not possible.' 



(b) ' Cases have also occurred of deserving beneficiaries retiring during their course 

 through lack of adequate means ; but in most cases they have taken posts in schools 

 or otherwise, and have subsequently returned to College to complete their course.' 



(c) ' The Principal and Registrar have at their disposal a small loan fund from 

 ■which they make periodical grants to deserving students, free of interest.' 



University College, Bangoe. 



I. Entrance Scholarships, 1 of iOl. ; 1 of 301. ; Exhibitions, 1 of 20/. ; 4 of lOl., 

 tenable in the first instance for thiee years, but may be extended for a fourth ; and 

 a number of limited Scholarships and Exhibitions, the highest of 30/., the longest 

 tenure three years. 



II. ' No two CoUege benefactions can be held together.' 



III. No limit has hitherto been imposed. 



IV. We have no permanent endowment or benefaction for this purpose. There 

 is, however, a ' Loan Fund ' from which advances (repayable without interest) are 

 made to students who are unable without such assistance to complete their courses. 



V. (a) We do not know of any case . . . great sacrifices are often made by the 

 parents of students in order to enable their children to come to College, and in many 

 cases friends in the locahty from which a student comes render assistance. 



University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire, Cardiff. 



I. 59 Scholarships and Exhibitions : 6 of lO;., 1 of 15/., 12 of 111. Is., 18 of 20?., 

 11 of 251., 2 of 211., 3 of 351., 2 of iOL, 3 of 501., and 1 of 101. Of these 23 are tenable 

 for one year (of which 14 are renewable), 2 for two years, 34 for three years. There 

 are also 72 County Free Studentships (60 tenable for three years, and 12 for one year), 

 covering fees at the CoUege, to which maintenance allowances are attached by the 

 counties concerned. These College Scholarships, Exhibitions, and Free Student- 

 ships do not represent the annual awards to students at entrance, but the total number 

 which may be held by all students in one session, and some of them are awarded for 

 post-graduate work. 



II. and III. (1) Students may hold College Scholarships together with Scholar- 

 ships from sources outside the College. 



(2) By order of the Council, no student may receive more than 501. from the 

 College in any one year. An Exhibition is reckoned as lOl. out of this sum. The 

 above Scholarship of 101. is a Special Scholarship not coming within the terms of this 

 order. 



IV. There is no benefaction for the complete maintenance of students of ex- 

 ceptional promise. 



V. No case has come to our knowledge. There is a Loan Fund for assisting 

 meritorious students which has been provided by subscriptions. Grants, free of 

 interest, are made from this Loan Fund by the Principal and the Registrar. 



For the Bursaries, etc., at the Scottish Universities, see Parliamentary Paper 411, 

 11 Dec. 1912. 



The Carnegie Trustees grant assistance to students solely in respect of payment 

 of class fees. 



University of St. Andrews. 



I. The value of Bursaries on entrance, as given in the Parliamentary Paper, varies 

 from 61. 10s. to 501. per annum, and their tenure varies from three to eight years. 

 In addition to these, 7 Bursaries in the second year of 161. 5s. to 301., tenable for 

 two or three years, and 2 in the fourth year of 201. and 45/. respectively, arc 

 awarded. 



An additional entrance Scholarship of 30Z. for four years has been founded for 

 women students. As a rule, the Bru-saries on entrance run only for three years, in 

 a few cases for four ; and 6 Scholarships of 80/. for one year, 4 of 50/. for two years, 

 and 1 of 50/. for one year, and 4 of 801., tenable at Oxford or Cambridge for four 

 years, are not included in the White Paper (some are post-graduate). 



II. Not as a general rule ; but in the case of second-year Bursaries, they may 

 be awarded to a student, notwithstanding he already holds a Bursary gained at en- 

 trance.
