LOAN FUNDS
Applicants for loans, if not already registered as students in the University,
must have complied with all the requirements for entrance. All inquiries concerning
loans should be addressed to the Bursar.
The American Bankers Association Foundation.—From this fund an
annual allotment of $310, supplemented by $190 provided by the University, is
made to provide two loan scholarships of $250 each for education in economics.
These loan scholarships are awarded only to deserving students of integrity, intelligence,
character, competency, and aptitude, whose means of support are
depended wholly, or in part, on their own labor, and whose major is in banking,
economics or related subjects in classes of junior grades or above. Scholarship
of the highest rank will not be a definite requirement for a loan scholarship
award; however, the Foundation desires to encourage students who will become
leaders in professional or business life, and does not wish loan scholarships made
to mediocre or inferior students. Information regarding these loans may be
