What Will It Cost? Scholarships and Loan Funds NUMBER of scholarships and loan funds have been provided for worthy students who are in need of financial aid in order to continue or complete their university work. There are undergraduate scholarships, most of them available to new students, which exempt their holders from the payment of the matriculation fee of $10 and the incidental fee of $35 each semester, but not from laboratory fees or other similar fees for supplies and materials. Those available in all divisions of the University include the County Scholarships (one from each county, awarded by competitive examination), the General Assembly Scholarships (awarded on nomination of members of the Illinois General Assembly), and Military Scholarships (awarded only to World War veterans). Certain other scholarships are available to students pursuing curricula in Ceramic Engineering (one from each county on nomination of the Illinois Clay Manufacturer's Association), in Agriculture (one from each county, awarded by competitive examination on nomination of the Illinois Farmers' Institute), and in Home Economics (also awarded by competitive examination on nomination of the Illinois Farmers' Institute). Loan funds are of two general classes: emergency loan funds, and "long term" or regular loan funds. The emergency funds are for small loans, to be made on short notice, and to be repaid within a short time. The regular funds are for larger loans, to be repaid after graduation. Most of these different funds have special qualifications which must be met by applicants. Good scholarship, as well as the need of the individual, is a general qualification in all cases. Loans are not ordinarily made to students during their first year in the University except to those of unusually high scholastic standing who have completed the work of the first semester. Scholarships—For more detailed information, apply to Mr. George P. Tuttle, Registrar, 100-A Administration Building. Loan Funds—For more detailed information, apply to Fred H. Turner, Dean of Men, 152 Administration Building, or Miss Maria Leonard, Dean of Women, 100 Woman's Building. T H E COST of one year at the University can be determined fairly accurately. There are certain expenses, such as University fees, which do not vary greatly. There are other expenses, such as clothing, board, and room, which vary with the individual. Some students, who work to assist themselves, are able to complete a year's work with a very small outlay of actual cash. It is true, however, that the individual secures quality in a rate proportional to what he is paying, especially for board and room, the two largest items. The student contemplating entering the University would do well to study the budgets printed below, checking the items and determining how he should apply whatever funds he has available.
