Council to Award Term Bill Grants

Scholarships Given on Basis of Need, Activities

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

To financially hard-pressed undergraduates the Student Council will next week award several hundred dollars to be applied against the November term bill. The Council's budget provides for a total of $2300 in such grants during the year.

"The main purpose of these scholarships is to give grants of small amounts to students who cannot pay the full amount of the term bill," Douglas Mercer '40, chairman of the Council scholarship committee, said last night.

High Marks Unnecessary

Not high scholastic standing, but indebtedness, term time employment, and extra-curricular activities are the chief criteria for making awards, he added.

The Council scholarship committee will hold office hours next week in Brooks House from 2 to 3:00 o'clock. Monday through Friday afternoons, in order to interview applicants. Mercer pointed out that application blanks which may be obtained from the P.B.H. secretary, must be filed in person by Friday, November 17.
