University Gives $275,000
These awards follow the assigning of 298 scholarships to students in the three upper classes of the College. They total $99,294, or an average of about $330 per student, and are based primarily on high scholarship, and each of the 298 men is of dean's list rating. The upper class awards are in addition to the Freshman Scholarships and other loan and aid funds for undergraduates, which bring the total amount available for financial assistance for students in the College to approximately $275,000 for this year so far.
Recent competition for scholarships has become keener than at any period in the history of the College.
