'Cliffe Committee Predicts Rise in Scholarship Aids

Radcliffe's $200 tuition rise will result in more and bigger scholarships and an expanded use of loans to students, Dean Kerby-Miller of the Scholarship Committee announced last night.

Although Dean Kerby-Miller predicted that the rise will be "hard on a good many students," she said that "in most instances, we hope to make up the differences." As of now, there is no formula for raising the awards of present scholarship holders.

Several gifts given to Radcliffe last fall will enable the Scholarship Committee to meet the first demands. Thereafter, the Committee hopes to get increased awards from Alumnae Clubs throughout the country. In the end, the amount of increased scholarship aid will depend on outside help, Dean Kerby-Miller said.

The Committee will probably use undergraduate leans "much more extensively," particularly for students unable to qualify for scholarships, she said.

The tuition rise will leave Radcliffe expenses near, and only in one or two cases above, those of other leading women's colleges. Vassar, for instance, has had a flat $2,000 charge for room, board, and tuition for several years.
