1956 Scholarships
full time to academic and exu-a-cun-icular activities, these positions
are reserved for upperclassmen. To those freshman students,
however, who find it necessary to have help of this sort,

STATE
SCHOLARSHIPS
An Act of the General Assembly of Maryland enables the
College to furnish tuition and board free to two students (one
young man and one young woman) from each county of the
State and from each legislative district of Baltimore City. A
scholarship cannot be held by the same student for more than
four years, nor beyond the time of receiving a Bachelor's degree;
and the holder is required to give bond to the State of Maryland
for such amount, with such security, as may be approved by the
College, that he or she will teach school within the State for not
less than two years after leaving College. In order to enable the
College to carry out fully the intention of the Act of the Legislature
providing for these scholarships, it is highly important
that only those students be appointed who are graduates of accredited
four-year high schools, who meet the scholastic requirements
for recommendation of the State Department of Education,
and who desire to qualify as high school teachers in the State of
Maryland. A medical examination for the Teachers' Retirement
Systemshould be required before an appointment is made.
Candidates for these scholarships should apply to the Registrar
of [he College for information regarding the competitive
examination.
