The College will pass out more than $350,000 in scholarships during the academic year of 1948-49 to upperclassmen alone. To qualify for one of these scholarships, however, if often difficult.
For seventeen of them, the hopeful applicant must bear the same name as the donor or one of his parents or even ancestors dating back as far as 1650. The William Stanislaus Murphy Fund, for instance is, "For the collegiate education of any young man or men named Murphy, who in the judgment of the Faculty, should prove deserving of this kind of encouragement."
Other Conditions
An almost equal number of grants are offered to students from particular towns or parts of states such as the Edmund Ira Richards Fund for students from North Attleboro, Mass. and the Sewall Grant for "such as shall be sent from Petaquamscot (in the Narragansett Country), English or Indians, if any such there be."
