SCHOLARSHIPS.
In order to encourage the training of teachers, the General Assembly
of Virginia, in 1918, founded one hundred and nineteen Virginia State
Teachers' Scholarships, one for each School Division in the State. The
emolument is free lodging, heat, light and janitor service in the university
dormitories. The holder of one of these scholarships must be a Virginian
needing financial assistance in order to attend the University, and
he must pledge himself to engage in some form of school work in the
State for at least two years, or, failing this, to repay to the University the
value of the scholarship. Appointments are made prior to September 1,
upon the recommendation of Division Superintendents of Schools. If
any Superintendent fails to make a recommendation, the vacancy thus
created may be filled from the State at large by the President of the University.
Blank forms of application will be sent upon request.
In addition to the Virginia State Teachers' Scholarships, there are a
number of other scholarships in the University available for students of
Education. A detailed description of them is given elsewhere in this
Catalogue.
