Stipend Policy on Scholarships Will Remain as Usual

Scholarship applications have been coming in well so far this week, John U. Monro '34, assistant to the Provost, said yesterday, and University officials said they expect no decrease in awards. Monro expects to receive about 100 applications a day for the next ten or 12 days.

At the same time, Dean Bender stated that "we do not expect any drastic changes in policy on the stipends." Earlier this term, he warned that, unless new sources of income are made available, undergraduate scholarships may be severely reduced within the next two years.

Monro also was optimistic about the number of awards that would be made this year. He pointed out that it still is too early to estimate the number of awards, but emphasized that the College still has a surplus fund, accumulated during the war, to draw upon.

Barring unforeseen events, such as wholesale draft, University officials said that the number of awards will be in keeping with those of other years. Last year, 1,001 students received grants for 1951-52.
