University of Virginia Library

STATE STUDENTS.

To render education at the University available to meritorious
young men of limited means, provision has been made for the
admission of fifty students, (one from each senatorial district of
the State,) without payment of Matriculation and Tuition fees,
and rents.

The advantage is meant to be restricted to those who are not
themselves, and whose parents are not, in a situation to incur the
expenses of their education.

Their connection with the University is to continue two years,
but for extraordinary proficiency the term may be prolonged.
They stand, in all respects, except expense, on the same footing
as other students, enjoying the same privileges, and subject to the
same laws.

By way of remuneration to the State for the assistance thus
afforded, they are required to sign an engagement to teach in

some public or private school or academy within the limits of
Virginia, for two years after leaving the University.

☞ Persons interested will be pleased to observe the following
particulars:

1. The applicant is requested to state his age, which must be
over seventeen years, and to designate the several schools of the
University he may wish to enter, observing that the enactments
require him, if under the age of twenty-one years, to attend
three, unless, for good cause, the Faculty permit him to attend a
greater or less number.

2. In order to be admitted, the applicant must exhibit satisfactory
testimonials—1st. Of irreproachable moral character.
2d. Of capacity, as well by partial cultivation as original vigor
of mind, to profit by the instruction given at the University.
3d. If he desires to enter the school of Mathematics, or of Natural
Philosophy, that he possesses a familiar acquaintance with
all the branches of Numerical Arithmetic; and if he desires to
enter the school of Latin or Greek, that he is qualified to commence
the study of the higher Latin or Greek authors; and,
4th. That neither he nor his parents are in a situation to incur
the expense of his education without aid.

The following districts will be vacant at the close of the present
session, and the Faculty will proceed to fill them on the 5th
of July next. Applications, addressed to the Chairman of the
Faculty, must reach him before the 25th of June.
