Scholarships: KU Has Plus 81 Loans, 30 Grants
Between 350 and 400 students at the University receive scholarships totaling $75,000 each year. Fifty-five scholarships are available for students and the number is being increased each year by alumni and friends of the University. They range in size from those of $100 a year to those derived from funds which yield thousands of dollars and help 300 persons to attend college

At Liberty Memorial HS
Although most scholarships are for undergraduates, $10,000 is awarded annually to graduate students. The sums range from $380 to $780.
One of the two greatest scholarships is the Summerfield scholarship. Each year this fund, created by Solon E. Summerfield, '99, yields about $20,000. Now there are between 50 and 60 Summerfield scholars on the campus, Dean Nelson estimated. Students seeking this award take tests for two days and must have a personal interview with the committee in charge of the scholarship. They must also be nominated by the principal of the high school they attended, and must maintain a certain standard of grades. Awards are not made in a fixed amount but on the basis of need.
The first direct aid in the form of a scholarship came in 1899 when Mrs. Marcia Brown Howland donated funds for a scholarship in memory of her daughter, Marellis '90. From the turn of the century to 1930 there was a steady growth in funds for scholarships, and from 1930 to the present time scholarships have grown at a fast rate. Money for the students winning the scholarships is taken from the interest on the original amount given the University.
Dr. C. B. Althaus, associate professor of education, will speak on legislation in Kansas and the role of the people in state government at Liberty Memorial High school at 8 p.m. today. Two thousand invitations have been sent to parents of public school pupils by the Cordley parent teachers association, sponsors of the speech.
All awards are administered through a University senate committee on aids and awards. Dean J. H. Nelson of the Graduate school is chairman and Miss Dorothy Hagland the executive secretary. Applications are made the first two weeks in March and the winners are named at Commencement time, with the award being used the next year.
The residence hall scholarship awards entitle the student to live in one of the three residence halls at the University without room charge. Watkins, Miller, and Battenfeld are scholarship residence halls. From 290 to 300 students attend the University each year on residence hall scholarships.
"Because so many are benefited by these residence hall scholarships. I am most enthusiastic about them," Dean Nelson said. "When building costs allow the University to erect several more scholarship dormitories for which funds are now available, the number of residence hall scholarships can be more than doubled."
A more unusual scholarship, the Olin Templin award, is given to a student of philosophy as often as the income from the investment reaches $500. The original fund, begun in honor of Professor's Templin's 80th birthday, remains open for contributions.
In addition to scholarships, the University has 81 loan funds and 30 annual cash grants classified as prizes. Loan funds are available to all but cannot exceed $100.
The foreign student award for $500 is provided by the A.S.C. The current winner is Albert Roland, graduate student.
Largest of the cash grants is the William Allen White award in creative writing. Started in 1947, the $2,500 award is given to the writer of the best manuscript submitted to the committee each year.
