Nineteen undergraduates, among them Vincent P. Moravee '40, captain of the 1947 football team, have been awarded Veterans' National Scholarships, according to an announcement by Francis S. Van Stade, Director of Scholarships in the College.
Set up in April to augment the national scholarship program inaugurated by President Conant in 1934, the awards are granted ordinarily to veterans whose education has been interrupted by service in the armed forces of the United States or the United Nations, in the American Field Service, or in the Merchant Marine.
Recipients are chosen on the basis of grades, character, extra-curricular activities, and intellectual promise. Stipends vary according to the needs of the individual man.
