SCHOLARSHIPS AND PRIZES.
STATE SCHOLARSHIPS.
Under the law of the State the Superintendent of Public Instruction
is empowered to award annually a number of free scholarships in
Cornell University equal to the number of Assembly districts in the
State. These Scholarships entitle the holder to free tuition for four
years.
For particulars in regard to the Scholarships, application should be
made to the Superintendent of Public Instruction at Albany.
Holders of State Scholarships are notified that failure to register
before the close of registration day of each term involves the severance
of their connection with the University and consequently the forfeiture
of their Scholarships. The President of the University is required by
law to send immediate notice of such vacancies to the Superintendent
of Public Instruction and the Superintendent fills vacancies forthwith.
' '
The Law provides that any State student who shall make it appear
to the satisfaction of the President of the University that he requires
leave of absence for the purpose of earning funds with which to defray
his living expenses while in attendance, may, in the discretion of the
President, be granted such leave of absence, and may be allowed a
period not exceeding six years from the commencement thereof for
' '
the completion of his course at said University.
Under this provis
ion of the charter, the President of the University will, for the purposes
indicated therein, grant leave of absence after an applicant has been
regularly admitted to the University. The will Scholarship then be
kept good ; but will not be extended for more thanfour years from its
date,
unless application is made after at least one year from the time
of entrance, in case of applicants who have acquitted themselves
creditably in the University during this period. Those holding schol
arships are therefore advised, if possible, to enter the University at
once, and to postpone asking for leave of absence until after one year
in the University has been completed.
