SCHOLARSHIPS, PRIZES, AND STUDENT AID
FRESHMAN PRIZE SCHOLARSHIPS
Twelve or more freshman scholarships carrying stipends of $150
or $300 are awarded each year to members of the incoming freshman
class. The recipients of these scholarships are selected by the Committee
on Freshman Admission from the candidates who have passed
the entrance examinations and otherwise satisfied the entrance requirements
of the Institute.
The scholarships are awarded on the basis of all the information
available in regard to the applicants-the results of their examinations,
their high-school records and recommendations, the statements
submitted as to their student activities and outside interests, and
results of personal interviews. The awards are made without reference
to financial need; but any successful student with adequate
resources may relinquish the money payment in favor of the next
most deserving competitor, while retaining the scholarship as an
honorary recognition. The winners of these scholarships are designated
Blacker Scholars or Drake Scholars, in recognition of the donors
of the scholarship funds, Robert Roe Blacker and Nellie Canfield
Blacker, or Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Drake.
DRAKE SCHOLARSHIPS
In addition to the foregoing, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Drake of Pasadena
have made provision for an annual scholarship available for a
graduate of the high schools of St. Paul, Minnesota, and a similar
annual scholarship available for a graduate of the high school of
Bend, Oregon.
