The Trustees of the College have just adopted a new schedule of scholarships to go into effect for men entering Dartmouth in 1919-20, and with slight modifications to be extended to all men in the college qualifying for scholarship aid, beginning with the academic year 1920-21.
These scholarships represent a large increase over those heretofore granted. The scale at present in force affords scholarship aid according to the average standing of the student, of from $50.00 to $100.00 with a few somewhat larger scholarships granted under special conditions.
The new plan raises slightly the minimum grade necessary to obtain aid, but increases very materially the minimum scholarship figure. Under the old plan scholarship aid might begin with an average standing of 1.8. Under the new schedule 2.0 is the minimum grade.
The amount granted for the first semester for men entering will be $50.00, the total amount for the year depending on the grade of work done the first semester. After Freshman year the annual amount is fixed by the grade of the preceding year, according to the following schedule:
Average Standing Scholarship 2.0 to 2.4 $125.00 2.4 to 2.8 150.00 2.8 to 3.2 200.00 3.2 to 3.6 300.00 3.6 to 4.0 400.00
