An annual conference among college scholarship officials to be held here next month will be expanded this year to include every Ivy League college and M.I.T.
Cornell, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania, the only League members not attending the parley last year, have announced that representatives from their financial aid offices will attend the meeting for the first time.
At the meeting, officials will consider the size of scholarships to be offered to students who have applied for aid at two or more of the participating colleges. The representatives will negotiate to arrive at scholarship figures equalized in proportion to the full tuitions at the respective colleges.
"All the Ivy League colleges have enough joint scholarship applicants to make such a conference very profitable," commented Fred L. Glimp '50, Director of Freshman Scholarships. The conference, according to Glimp, is beneficial to the applying student in that he is offered the same aid from each of the member schools and thus he can make his choice solely on college merits and not on relative scholarship offers.
Arising from a similar joint conference held by Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, this meeting has gradually expanded to include more League institutions. Harvard has always held informal consultations on scholarship applicants with other colleges and may extend them, he said.
