20 AMERICAN-SCANDINAVIAN FELLOWSHIPS ARE OFFERED

In March the American-Scandinavian Foundation will award to students of American birth twenty fellowships for study in the Scandinavian countries during the academic year 1921-22. These fellowships,--ten for study in Sweden, five for study in Denmark, and five for study in Norway,--will bear stipends of about $1000.

All applicants from the University must file their applications with Dean L. B. R. Briggs, 10 University Hall, by March 1. Further information and blank forms for application may be obtained at Dean Briggs' office any time between now and March 1.

After March 1 the Committee on General Scholarships, of which Dean Briggs is chairman, will pass upon the candidates, rate them in order of merit, and forward their nominations to the Foundation, arranged in the order of preference with the supporting papers of each candidate.

"Our jury," writes the Secretary of the Foundation. Dr. Henry Goddard Leach, g 1906, "will then be able to choose intelligently, having before them the papers of candidates actually approved by the colleges. The number of nominations to be made by each college is left entirely to the discretion of the college.

"There are several advantages in this procedure. The candidates will have been considered first by the college officials under whom they have worked, and each man will have been interviewed probably by the Scholarship Committee of his own college. Each application will be stamped with the rating of the college from which the candidate comes. And yet we do not shut out candidates who wish to send their applications directly to the Foundation. Men who are not college graduates and college graduates who do not ask for the official recommendation of their college may apply directly."
