U. OF A. SCHOLARSHIPS
Offered By the Arkansas FEEDER
alton Of WOmen'S Clubs

N'iOhi Va " OillOil . NlUDD
The Arkansas Federation of
Women's Clubs has offered two
scholarships in the University of
Arkansas. One of these scholar.
ships is for young men and one for
young women. The scholarships
are good for one year only, the
freshman class of the University of
Arkansas. The object of the schol
arship is to make the University
better known and appreciated in the
state and to give young men and
young women from small places the
advantage of the University atmos-
phere.
The first scholarship pays $l45,
and the second pays $l4O. One of
these will be awarded to the young
man making the highest grade in a
competitive examination, and the
other to the young woman making
the highest grade. OF these two,
the one making the higher grade
will receive $145 and the other $40.
1t is estimated that the amount of
the scholarships will pay most of
the actual expenses of the academic
year at the University.

tive examination will be sent by
the examining board of the Univer-
sity to the county examiner of each
county and he will hold the exami.
