 SCHOLARSHIPS
 The University of Florida does not have large sums of money available for cash
 scholarships. Many of the scholarships available to students are awarded directly by
 the donors, and administered through the Business Office of the University and the
 Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships, and Awards. However, there are a number of
 scholarships awarded and administered by the Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships
 and Awards. This Committee collects all information relative to the basis of award,
 the value, and other pertinent facts pertaining to scholarships. The Committee also col-
 lects information on the applicants and supplies this information to donors. In some
 instances the Committee has been given the authority to make awards without con-
 sulting donors.
 While scholarship as evidenced by academic attainment is an important feature in
making awards, it is by no means the only consideration. The student's potential capacity
to profit by college training and to make reasonable returns to society are important
considerations in making all awards.
 In addition to the opportunities for scholarship awards at the University, prospective
students are urged to consult the resources in their home communities. Many civic clubs
and community organizations are interested in providing means whereby students may
attend college when they are convinced the investment will be worth while.
 Unless otherwise specified, applications for scholarships listed below should be made
to the Dean of Men, who is Chairman of the Committee on Student Aid, Scholarships
and Awards at the University of Florida, Gainesville.
