THE COMMONWEALTH SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME Scholarships
The Commonwealth Scholarship Scheme provides for the award of up to 4,000 scholarships each year. Victoria's share in 1963 will be about 1,400.
Most of these scholarships are open for competition among persons under 25 years of age who wish to commence tertiary courses at universities and other approved institutions in Australia. These are known as Open Entrance scholarships. Scholarships may also be awarded to students who have completed one or more years of an approved course. These are known as Later Year scholarships. A small quota, known as Mature Age scholarships, is reserved for persons between the ages of 25 and 30 years.
Approved Courses
The courses approved under the Scheme comprise all first degree courses at universities, certain undergraduate diploma courses at universities, certain diploma courses at technical schools, and certain other professional courses. Scholars may be granted benefits for certain combined courses.
A Commonwealth scholar may apply his scholarship to one of the approved courses in any State where the course is available.
Eligibility (a) Age
An apphcant for an Open Entrance or Later Year scholarship is required to be under the age of twenty-five years on 1 January in the year in which he commences his scholarship.
An applicant for a Mature Age scholarship is required to be not less than twenty-five years of age on 1 January in the year in which he desires the award of a scholarship and not more than thirty years of age on 1 January in the year in which he commenced (or commences) his course.

An applicant for a Mature Age scholarship is required to show that he has resided continuously in Austraha for a period of two years immediately preceding 1 January in the year in which he desires a scholarship and that he intends to remain in Australia.
(c) Bonded Students
An apphcant who has signed an agreement to serve with an individual or an organization which has contributed or wUl contribute to the cost of his education must make satisfactory arrangements to discharge his obligation under that agreement before he can become eligible to accept a Commonwealth Scholarship.
(d) Previous Study
In general, a student who has already completed an approved course is not ehgible for selection under the scheme.
(c) General
A student who has any doubt concerning his eligibility should enquire at the Commonwealth Scholarships Branch.
Selection
Commonwealth Scholarships are awarded entirely on merit without regard to the means of applicants' parents. Selection is based on the results obtained by the apphcant at the examination quahfying for matriculation at one of the Austrahan universities. However, for certain Technical CoUege courses selection may be made also on the results or exemptions obtained in Technical College examinations.
It is important to note that, regardless of the basis of selection for a Common- wealth Scholarship, a student must meet the requirements for admission to his course, i.e. matriculation, pre-requisite subjects, etc., as prescribed by the institution concerned.
Selection for Later Year scholarships is made on results obtained in approved courses. An applicant for a scholarship in the Second or Third Year of an approved course is required to have completed the First Year of his course at the first attempt with or without deferred examinations. If he is entering the Fourth or a later year of an approved course, he is required to have made satisfactory progress which does not necessarily involve passing First Year at first attempt.
A Mature Age applicant is selected on the basis of his whole academic record.
An applicant must show that he has made some continuous endeavour to improve his educational qualifications and that his previous studies have been directed towards the course for which he desires the scholarship.
Benefits
(a) Students awarded Commonwealth Scholarships are entitled without a means test to payment of tuition fees, examination fees, matriculation fees, gradua- tion fees and other compulsory fees such as union and sports fees, students' club fees, and non-refundable laboratory fees.
(b) Living Allowances
A scholar undertaking an approved full-time course on a full-time basis may apply for a living aUowance which is payable subject to a means test. The maximum living aUowance is £ 2 4 7 per annum in the case of a scholar living with his parents and £383/10/- per annum in the case of a scholar living away from his parents.
It should be noted that these rates are those current in 1962.
Applications for living allowances must be lodged not later than 31 March.
Applications received after that date wiU be paid only as from the date of lodgment Progress
A Commonwealth scholar is expected to complete his course in the minimum time without failure. When a scholar fails for the first time in his course, his scholarship is suspended. If he repeats the year successfully at his own expense, his scholarship is restored. If he fails again in any year his scholarship is withdrawn. A scholar who has been awarded a scholarship to commence a course may, in certain circumstances, be granted a deferment. Where there are good grounds, a scholar who has completed part of his course may be aUowed to interrupt his scholarship. In special circum- stances, transfer from one course to another after commencement of training may be
permitted. Only one transfer is aUowed. This provision does not refer to change of course before commencement of training.
Employment
Scholars taking full-time courses are required to devote their maximum time to their studies. Employment during term is discourged. No restriction is placed on employment during vacations but scholars are advised to use the shorter vacations for study purposes. Scholars in receipt of living allowances must not engage in employment without the permission of the Commonwealth Scholarships Branch.
Approval may be given whore it appears that this employment wUl not prejudice a scholar's prospects of success in his course. However, employment in excess of six hours per week will NOT be approved.
Guidance
The knowledge and experience of the officers of the Commonwealth Scholarships Branch are avaUable to assist students and parents in any matters relating to scholar- ships. Students should not hesitate to seek the help of the Branch when necessary.

RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
R E G U L A T I O N F O R T H E E L E C T I O N O F T H E SCHOLAR
1. General Regulations
A Rhodes Scholarship is tenable at the University of Oxford and may be held for three years. Since, however, the majority of Rhodes Scholars obtain standing which makes it possible for them to take a degree in two years, appointments are made for two years in the first instance. During the course of his second year every Rhodes Scholar wUl be invited to state whether he wishes to apply for a third year at Oxford, and, if so, what work he proposes to undertake. The Rhodes Trustees will not consider granting a third year unless (1) it can be shown that a third year is eminently in the interests of (a) the scholar's immediate studies and (b) his future career, or unless (2) his work, conduct and general record have been satisfactory.
The value of a Rhodes Scholarship is £750 (sterling) a year.
One scholarship is allocated to each State in the Commonwealth. The cost of travel to and from Oxford must be borne by the Scholar.
2. Conditions of Eligibility
(1) Candidates must be of such an age that they will have passed their nine- teenth, and not have passed their twenty-fifth birthday, by 1st October of the year for which they seek election.
UNIVERSITY CALENDAR
(2) Candidates must be male British subjects and unmarried. A Rhodes Scholar- ship is forfeited by marriage after election, or during a scholar's first or second year of residence. Permission to marry without deprivation of his Scholarship may be given by the Rhodes Trustees for a Scholar's third year.
(3) Candidates must have at least five years' domicUe in Austraha and, by Slst October of the year for which they seek election, must have completed at least two years' study at a University in Australia approved by the Hebdomadal Council of the University of Oxford.
(4) Candidates may compete either in the State in which they have their ordinary residence, or in that in which they have received any considerable part of their education.
For each State there is a Committee of Selection, responsible, subject to ratifica- tion by the Rhodes Trustees, for deciding whether candidates comply with the foregoing conditions and for making the selection. In any case of doubt the Tmstees reserve complete discretion to determine the eligibility or otherwise of the candidate.
3. Basis of Selection
In making nominations. Committees will have regard to the qualities specified by Mr. Rhodes in that section of the WUl in which he defined the general type of scholar he desired:
Literary and scholastic attainments; qualities of manhood, truthfulness, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfish- ness and fellowship; exhibition of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in his fellows; physical vigour, as shown by fondness for or success in manly outdoor activities.
Quality of both character and intellect is the most important requirement for a Rhodes Scholarship and this is what the Selection Committee will seek. The Rhodes Scholar should not be a one-sided man; or a selfish man. Intellectual abUity should be founded upon sound character and integrity of character upon sound intellect.
Success in being elected to office in student organizations may or may not be evidence of leadership in the true sense of the word. CecU Rhodes evidently regarded leadership as consisting of moral courage and interest in one's fellow men quite as much as in the more aggressive qualities. His hope was that a Rhodes Scholar would come 'to esteem the performance of public duties as his highest aim'. Physical vigour is an essential qualification for a Rhodes Scholar but athletic prowess is less important than the moral qualities which can be developed in sports. Financial need docs not give a special claim to a Rhodes Scholarship. Further, the wUl lays down that 'no student shall be qualified or disqualified for election to a Scholarship on account of his race or religious opinions'.
In the absence of a sufficiently qualified candidate Selection Committees wUl make no nomination.
4. Method of Application
Each candidate for a Scholarship is required to make application to the Secretary of the Committee of Selection of the State in which he wishes to compete not later than 1st September, or such other date as may be fixed, using the application form provided. Candidates must comply strictly with the requirements presented by the application form, which is avaUable at the Registrar's Office.
5. Standing at Oxford
AU Final Honour Schools at Oxford lead to the B.A. degree.
A degree of an Australian University following a course of at least three years entitles its holder to Senior Status at Oxford and enables him to take a Final Honour School in two years (six terms).
A candidate who docs not possess this entitlement wiU satisfy the admission requirements of the University of Oxford by his two years at an Austrahan University, provided that he has passed all examinations incidental to his course. On going up to Oxford he would then have to pass two examinations to obtain a degree, the First Public Examination during his first year, and at the end of nine terms (i.e. three years) the Second Public Examination (the Final Honour School).
A medical student of any University in Australia may be admitted to Senior Status before he has taken a degree, provided that his University is 'approved' by the University of Oxford, that his course has extended over at least three years, and that he has passed all examinations incidental thereto.
626
ANNOUNCEMENTS 6. Courses open to Rhodes Scholars
No restriction is placed upon a Rhodes Scholar's choice of studies. Subject to the approval of his College and of the Rhodes Tmstees, he may read for Oxford B.A. in any of the Final Honour Schools, or, if qualified by previous training, may be admitted to read for higher degrees such as the B.C.L., B.Sc, B.Litt., B.PhU., or D.Phil.
