APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES
The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate approximations
of all necessary expenses for a session of nine months. As
necessary expenses are reckoned here University, tuition, athletic and Topics
fees, laboratory fees, lodging, board, laundry, and books, but not clothing,
traveling expenses, or pocket money. For each department three estimates
are given—a low, an average, and a liberal estimate. The difference in the
three depends on the difference of expenditure for board, lodging, books, and
laundry—in other words, on the scale of living of the individual student. If
a student shares a room with another student, and practices the strictest
economy, he may possibly reduce his expenses below the estimate.

The Virginia State Teachers' Scholarships in the Department of Education:
thirty scholarships annually, twenty each with a value of $200, and ten
each with a value of $100, were established in 1918 by action of the General
Assembly of Virginia. The holder must be a Virginian in need of financial
assistance in order to attend the University; and he must pledge himself to
teach or engage in some other form of public school work in Virginia for
at least two years, or, failing this, to repay to the University the full value
of the scholarship. Blank forms of application may be had upon request to
Dean John L. Manahan, Chairman of the Committee on State Teachers'
upon the recommendation of division superintendents. Any scholarships unassigned
on September 1 are open to applicants from the State at large.
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 in the General Catalogue
of the University.
Student Self-Help.—The University maintains a Bureau of Student Self-Help
for the benefit of students who wish to obtain remunerative employment
while pursuing their studies. Opportunities for employment are not
infrequent, but no new student should attempt to attend the University unless
he has sufficient private resources to defray at least half of the expenses
of his first session. After a student has arrived at the University, the Bureau
will make every effort to find suitable work for him, but no assurance of
employment can be given until after the student's arrival.
Students who desire the assistance of the Bureau are invited to apply
for information by addressing the Director, Box 1487, University, Virginia.
Loans will be provided for deserving students.
