UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships Created by Act of the General Assembly 1. The regulations for General Assembly scholarships should be changed to require that appointees shall come from the upper 50 per cent of their highschool graduating classes, or shall have achieved an average of fifteen points above the passing grade of any college or university in which they were enrolled ; holders of these scholarships should be required to maintain a satisfactory scholastic standing in order to retain their scholarships. 2. The regulations for County scholarships should be changed to require an applicant to receive a grade of 70 or more in order to pass the examination and be entitled to a scholarship. 3. Steps should be taken to place the value of legislative scholarships on a uniform basis, exempting their holders from the payment of tuition fees as set for those colleges and schools of the University which admit students directly from the high schools; and that when a student holding one of these scholarships enters a division of the University which has fees higher than those set for the divisions specified, he shall be required to pay the difference. Scholarships Created by the Board of Trustees 1. The number of scholarships in Agriculture and Home Economics offered in Cook and Lake counties shall be reduced from twenty to four, by offering one of each scholarship in each county, rather than one in each of the first ten Congressional districts. 2. T h e assignment of scholarships to candidates from other counties, when the county to which the scholarship belongs has no qualified candidate, shall be eliminated. 3. N o change shall be made in the scholarships in Law and Music. 4. Ten scholarships to be known as "University Scholarships" shall be established. 5. Steps should be taken to increase the provision for scholarships by gift and endowment, as a method of meeting an urgent need for scholarships for needy but able students.

Mr. Cleary and Mrs. Plumb expressed themselves in favor of increasing the number of county scholarships from Cook County to provide for one or two from each Congressional district. On motion of Mr. Cleary, this report was adopted, effective September 1, 1941, unless otherwise noted in the report; and the President of the University was authorized to take steps to secure the necessary legislation.
