SCHOLARSHIPS

[For information more in detail concerning these scholarships, write W. L. Pillsbury, Registrar, Urbana.]

COUNTY SCHOLARSHIPS

A law passed by the General Assembly of the State of Illinois at the session of 1905 provides that there may be awarded annually to each county of the state one scholarship. The holder thereof must be a resident of the county to which he is accredited, and is entitled to free tuition in other than the preparatory and professional schools of the University.

A competitive examination under the direction of the President of the University shall be held at the county court house in each county of the state upon the first Saturday of June in each and every year by the county superintendent of schools upon such branches of study as the President of said University may deem best.

Having passed the examination successfully the candidate must then meet in full the requirements for admission to the freshman class and register the following September.

Questions for such examinations shall be prepared and furnished by the President of the University to the several county superintendents of schools prior to such examinations.

The law also provides that in case the scholarship in any county is not claimed by a resident of that county the

President of the University may fill the same by appointing some candidate, resident of another county, who is entitled to a vacancy.

Candidates to be eligible to a state scholarship must be at least sixteen years of age, and must be residents of their respective counties.

A student holding a scholarship who shall make it appear to the satisfaction of the President of the University that he requires leave of absence for the purpose of earning funds to defray his expenses while in attendance, may, in the discretion of the President, be granted such a leave of absence, and may be allowed a period not exceeding six years from the commencement thereof for the completion of his course at said University.

The examination will be held June 2, 1906, and June I, 1907.

Any person, whether a candidate for a scholarship or not, may be examined for admission to the University at this scholarship examination.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY SCHOLARSHIPS

The same act by which the county scholarships described above were established also provides that each member of the General Assembly may nominate annually one eligible person from his district for a scholarship in the University granting the same privilege as the county scholarships, and to be conferred under the same conditions with regard to examination, meeting entrance requirements, and registration.

SCHOLARSHIPS IN CERAMICS

The University offers each county in the State, one scholarship, awarded annually by the Trustees of the University, upon the nomination of the Clay Workers' Association, to applicants who intend to pursue either of the regular courses in ceramics.' These scholarships are good for four years and relieve the student from payment of the matriculation and incidental fees.

See pages 100-102,

The applicant must meet in full, before entering, the requirements for admission to the freshman class.

SCHOLARSHIPS IN AGRICULTURE AND HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE

The University offers every year to each county in the state, except Cook and Lake, and to each of the first ten congressional districts, one scholarship for prospective students of Agriculture in the College of Agriculture and one for prospective students of Household Science in the College of Literature and Arts, the College of Science, or the College of Agriculture.

Appointments are made by the Trustees of the University to scholarships in Agriculture upon the recommendation of the executive committee of the Illinois Farmers' Institute, and to scholarships in Household Science upon the recommendation of the County Domestic Science Associations. Young men under 16 years of age and young women under 18 years of age and those who have already attended the University are not eligible. Acceptable candidates, residents of counties or districts for which appointments have been made, made be assigned to counties or districts not yet represented.

The scholarships are good for two years and relieve the holders from the payment of the matriculation fee, $10.00, and the incidental fee, $24.00 a year. The term of a scholarship may be extended four years, if, before it expires, the holder satisfies in full the requirements for admission to the freshman class of the college in which he is enrolled.

MILITARY SCHOLARSHIPS

Students who have gained 3 hours in class room military instruction and 4 in drill practice, are eligible for appointment as commissioned officers of the regiment or battery. Those attaining this rank may be awarded special scholarships, good for one year, and equal in value to the University incidental fees for the same length of time.
