University of Virginia Library

STATE SCHOLARSHIPS.

To render education at the University accessible to meritorious
young men of limited means, provision has been made by the Legislature
for the admission of one student from each Senatorial District
of the State without payment of matriculation and tuition fees and
rents, an amount of $120 to $150 according to the schools taken.
This provision is meant to be restricted to those who themselves are
unable, and whose parents are unable, to incur the expense of their
education at this Institution without aid.

State students are appointed by the Faculty upon satisfactory
testimonials of fitness. The term of appointment is for two years,
but for extraordinary proficiency it 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 aid thus afforded them, they are
required on admission to sign an engagement to teach in some public
or private school in Virginia for two years after leaving the University,
the emoluments of such service enuring of course to their own benefit.

Mode of Applying for Appointment.

The applicant for a State appointment must state his age (which
must be at least seventeen) and designate the Schools of the University
he may wish to enter. He must submit satisfactory testimonials
of irreproachable moral character and of capacity, as well by partial
cultivation as original vigor of mind, to profit by the instruction
given at the University, and of the fact that neither he nor his parents
are able to incur the expense of his education without aid.

The Faculty will proceed on the 29th day of June, 1874, to make
appointments of State students for vacant districts. The following
are the districts under the new Constitution, all of which, except
