Colleg es Offer Scholarships “Students desiring to obtain scholarships from any of the many colleges offering them should begin to consider particu¬ lars and make what preparations for application they can as soon as possible,” stated John A. An¬ derson, dean of records, last week. Colleges in all parts of the country are offering many tui- tional scholarships, both for freshmen and juniors, in various vocational fields, usually to be¬ gin with the fall semester. “Naturally, these scholarships are on a highly competitive bas¬ is,” Anderson continued. “While not all colleges require the appli¬ cant to take an examination, they all devote considerable attention to the student’s scholarship rec¬ ord." Pomona, Occidental and Chi¬ cago University all require com¬ petitive exams; the University of California considers only scholas¬ tic records. Stanford University also is offering a number of scholarships. Many more scholarships are given deserving students by pri¬ vate institutions than are given by state colleges. This is because state universities charge no tui¬ tion, merely expenses. Information regarding availa¬ ble scholarships is posted on the financier. Whether Karen is ex¬ onerated or sentenced depends upon the twelve jury members, who are outstanding PCC ad¬ ministrators, faculty and stu¬ dents.
