SCHOLARSHIPS.

UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS.

Seven scholarships, entitling the successful candidates at a competitive
examination to prosecute the studies of one session at the University
of Virginia without the payment of matriculation or tuition fees, are
open to new-comers from all the States at the beginning of the academic
year (October 1st). Of these seven scholarships, five are in the Academic
Department, and two in the Department of Engineering. The
examination is uniform, and embraces Latin, Greek, Mathematics, and
English. In order to secure positive attainments, the right is reserved
to reject any papers that do not reach the standard required for a Distinction
at the Final Examination in Junior Latin, Junior Greek, and
Junior Mathematics, and do not show a competent acquaintance with
the grammatical and rhetorical structure of the English language.

The subjects of examination in Latin, Greek and Mathematics for
these scholarships will be found under the head "Junior Class" of those
Schools. For more precise information apply to the Professors.

FREE SCHOLARSHIPS.

The Visitors, in September, 1882, founded two free scholarships, to
be called the Corcoran Scholarship and the McCormick Scholarship.
For information respecting these apply to the Chairman of the Faculty.

MILLER SCHOLARSHIPS.

There are four scholarships in the Agricultural Department, named
for its founder. These scholarships are bestowed on competitive examination,
and the emolument is $250 to each of the two candidates attaining
the first and second places in the competition, with free tuition in the
Schools of the Department to the other two candidates attaining the absolute
standard required. For information as to subjects of examination,
and other rules in detail, apply to the Professors.

ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIPS.

The appointments to these rest with the persons who founded them,
