SNAME Providing New Scholarship Awards For Grads And Undergrads Scholarships in both the gradu-ate and undergraduate levels are again being provided by The So-ciety of Naval Architects and Ma-rine Engineers to encourage young men to pursue studies in the naval architectural and marine engineer-ing or closely related fields. For the graduate study program, applica-tion forms have been forwarded to ship-operating and shipbuilding companies, affiliated trades and to universities located in all sections of the country. Applications for graduate schol-arships for the fall of 1968 should be filed with the secretary of the Society at 74 Trinity Place, New York, N.Y. 10006. The maximum value of the schol-arships is equal to the cost of tui-tion at the college selected, plus liv-ing expenses in the amount of $2,100. The Scholarships Commit-tee will determine in each case the exact value of the graduate schol-arship award. Successful candi-dates may select the institution for their advanced studies subject to the approval of the Scholarships Committee. Factors considered in making the selection include scholastic ability, the candidate's capacity to pursue advanced study, his ambition, per-sonality and other factors indica-tive of prospective leadership status in the marine industry. In addition to the graduate pro-gram, 12 undergraduate scholar-ships of $1,000 each are made avail-able by the Society at the Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Michigan and the University of California at Berke-ley. Those interested should con-tact the above institutions directly and not the Society since the award decisions on the undergraduate pro-gram have been assigned to them.
