SCHOLARSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS

Certain special scholarships are open only to medical students. A considerable
number of other scholarships are open to medical students in common with
students from other departments of the University.

The William A. Herndon Scholarships are founded upon the bequest of
Dr. Cumberland George Herndon, a graduate in medicine of this University.
They are awarded by the Medical Faculty after a competitive examination held
during the summer vacation preceding enrollment as a student in the Medical
Department. Candidates must be unable to defray the expenses of their
medical education and must signify their intention of entering the medical service
of the army or navy of the United States. These scholarships carry a stipend
of approximately $500. They continue for the four years of the medical course
and are awarded whenever there is a vacancy. Two appointments were made in
September, 1934. Applications must be made not later than July 1 of the year of
appointment. For information as to the examinations and other requirements,
