GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS A N D SCHOLARSHIPS (4) The Dean of the Graduate College, the Vice-President and Provost, and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend an increase in graduate fellowships and scholarships beginning with the academic year 1957-58 as follows: 1. The award of 175 fellowships a year carrying stipends of $1,200 each, plus exemption from fees except the hospitalization and medical service fee, to be awarded to qualified graduate students at Urbana-Champaign. This is an increase of forty-three fellowships. T h e present program of fellowship awards also provides $18,000 a year for approximately ten fellowships with stipends ranging from $1,500 to $2,000 in the Chicago Professional Colleges. N o increase in this area is being proposed at this time. 2. The award of 200 graduate scholarships, without cash stipends, but providing the same exemptions from tuition and fees as the fellowships. These will be new scholarships. There is being submitted separately a recommendation to increase tuition fees charged nonresident students to provide additional income. The expansion of the scholarship and fellowship program is proposed so that this change in the fee structure does not operate to discourage potential teachers among the graduate students who are nonresidents of Illinois. It should be noted, however, that not all of the additional fellowships and scholarships would be for nonresident graduate students as the awards are made on the basis of scholastic record of the applicants and supporting recommendations. This will require an additional amount of $78,000 a year over the present appropriation of $132,000 for fellowships at Urbana-Champaign and $18,000 for the Chicago Professional Colleges. I concur in this recommendation. O n m o t i o n of M r . S w a i n , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d .
