Berlin Scholarship

A special scholarship for Harvard students to the Free University of Berlin has been established, and applications for it are now being received at the Student Council office. The scholarship provides for an allowance three times as large as those given to the usual German students and also waives tuition. Living quarters for the scholarship winner will be provided, free of charge, at the university's foreign student center.

The Free University was founded in 1940 during the Russian blockade of West Berlin as a protest against conditions in the Russian zone. Last summer the university received a Ford Foundation grant of $1.309,500--"in acknowledgement of the contributions it has made toward democratic education for responsible leadership.
