SCHOLARSHIPS.

University Scholarships.—Eleven 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 eleven
scholarships, five are in the Academic Department, and two each in the
Departments of Law, Medicine, and 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 three
free scholarships, to be called the Corcoran Scholarship, the McCormick
Scholarship, and the Vanderbilt Scholarship. For information respecting
these apply to the Chairman of the Faculty.

Miller Scholarship.—In honor of Samuel Miller, founder of the
Agricultural Department, there will be awarded at the end of each session
a scholarship, called the Miller Agricultural Scholarship, tenable during
the two following sessions. The emoluments consist of $250 per session,
with free tuition in the Schools of the Agricultural Department. The
conditions of award are as follows:—

The Scholarship will be awarded to that student who in the year of
his candidacy obtains distinction in all the classes of the Introductory
Course of Agricultural Studies, and receives the highest aggregate of
marks on the subjects of that course. For the conditions of tenure, or
other information, apply to the Chairman of the Faculty.

Alumni Scholarships.—The appointments to these rest with the
persons who founded them, or with the Executive Committee of the
Society of Alumni. For information apply to the Secretary of the
Society, (see p. 68).
