The seven Regional scholarships have been founded for the purpose of assuring financial aid to applicants of outstanding excellence and are awarded to entering freshmen. Once awarded they are continued as long as the recipient remains an undergraduate in good standing and is eligible for scholarship aid. These include the two William Pierce Johnson Fund Scholarships for residents of California, the three Charles F. Brooker Fund Scholarships for residents of Connecticut, and the two Second College Grant Fund Scholarships for New Hampshire students.

The Johnson Scholarships for applicants from California have been awarded to K. Lieber of South Pasadena and R. S. Morris Jr. of La Jolla. Lieber prepared at the South Pasadena High School, and Morris prepared at the La Jolla High School. These two scholarships are based on a fund of $100,000 given by Mrs. W. P. Johnson of San Francisco as a memorial to her husband, William Pierce Johnson 'BO.

The Brooker Scholarships for applicants from Connecticut have been awarded to A. P. Butler of West Woodstock, F. C. Franklin of Putnam, and E. G. Lauretti of Farmington. Butler prepared at the South Kent School, Franklin at Cushing Academy, and Lauretti at the Farmington High School. These scholarships of $500 each are based on a fund of $133,000 given by bequest of Charles F. Brooker of Ansonia.

The College Grant Fund Scholarships for applicants from New Hampshire were granted to W. E. Chase of Rumney, and R. H. Eaton of Littleton, who prepared at the Plymouth High School and the Littleton High School respectively. The funds on which these scholarships are based were derived from the proceeds of timber cuttings on the Second College Grant, a tract of land in northeastern New Hampshire given to the College by the State of New Hampshire in 1807.
