BURSARIES AWARDED
MEDICAL AND DENTAL P.A. 'WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Details of Government medical and dental bursaries that have been awarded this year were given to-day by the Minister of Health, Mr. Nordmeyer. He said that bursaries were awarded only to students who had been approved by the National Service Department for medical or dental studies during this year. As in the past the bursaries are of the annual value of £70 where the student is living at home and £110 where he is obliged to live away from his usual place of residence. The Minister said the Government had decided to award further medical and dental bursaries this year and the Cabinet had approved of the offer to selected students of up to 67 medical and 30 dental bursaries. Applications received fell broadly into three groups: (1) Students who had completed two or more years of a university course; (2) those who had completed the first year of a course and passed either the whole or a- portion of the medical intermediate examination; (3) students who were about to commence the first year of a course. In the first group three medical and three dental bursaries were offered; in the second 25 bursaries were offered to medical and nine to dental students; and in the third 39 medical and 15 dental bursaries were offered .
