1. Exhibitions or grants (or both) may be awarded from these Funds to candidates for the B.A.
Degree needing assistance who have shown proficiency in their studies and who are recommended by
their Tutors, provided that, if they are of standing for admission but have not been admitted to that
degree, they are pursuing further study in the University to the satisfaction of the Awarders for the
time being.
2. The annual value of an Exhibition shall be such sum as shall be determined by the Awarders in
a particular case within a range approved from time to time by the Council payable in equal instalments
at the end of each term kept till the student is of standing for admission to the B.A. Degree. If the
Awarders agree to continue an Exhibition after the holder has attained such standing, or if a Student
is elected after attaining such standing, he or she shall receive a payment in respect of each of the
next three terms kept or allowed, provided that no payment shall be made in respect of any term after
the academical year following that in which an Exhibitioner became of standing for admission to the
B.A. Degree. The Awarders may determine that the tenure of an Exhibition shall date from the
beginning of the academical year in which the award is made. The value of a grant shall be determined
by the Awarders within a range approved from time to time by the Council.
3. Payment of the Exhibition shall be discontinued if the Awarders for the time being consider
discontinuance desirable on account of a change in the financial circumstances of the student.
4. The Awarders for the time being shall have power to deprive an Exhibitioner of the title and
emoluments of the Exhibition for misconduct or for failure in industry or progress.
5. The Awarders shall be the Vice-Chancellor (or a duly appointed deputy) and four members of
the Senate appointed by the Council in the Michaelmas Term to serve for two years from 1 January
following their appointment. Before the division of the Lent Term in each year the Awarders shall
elect one of themselves to act as their Secretary.
6. Applications shall be made to the Secretary through Tutors before the division of each term. A
Tutor shall furnish (a) a certificate that the applicant is a candidate for the B.A. Degree, (b) particulars
as to the financial circumstances upon which the application is based, (c) a statement of the applicant’s
performance in his or her studies, (d) any particulars entitling the applicant to preference under Statute
E, II. The Tutor shall also undertake to inform the Secretary for the time being of any substantial
change in the financial circumstances of an applicant to whom an Exhibition is awarded.
7. Awards shall be made as soon as convenient after the division of each term.
8. The Secretary shall be paid such sum as shall be determined by the Council, on the recommendation
of the Awarders, which shall be charged on the Funds in such manner as the Treasurer may determine.
9. Any part of the income of any of the Funds that is not expended in any year in accordance with
the foregoing regulations shall be available for distribution on the recommendation of the Awarders in
equal shares to Fitzwilliam College and to Murray Edwards College for the purpose of defraying the
cost of awards made to members of those institutions who are candidates for the B.A. Degree and who
are in need of financial assistance upon such conditions as their respective governing bodies shall from
time to time determine.
