TRENTHAM SCHOLARSHIP FUND
A meeting of the executive of the Trentham Scholarship Fund was held recently for the purpose of considering the award of bursaries for 1935. The following members were present:—Mr Sidney Kirkcaldie (in the chair), Majorgeneral Sir William L. H, Sinclair-Bur-gess, Colonel H. E. Avery, Major L. C. Forgie, Dr E. Marsden, Mr N. Lambourne, Mr W. Appleton, A total of 444 applications was received and considered, of which 44 applications were declined and the 400 awards made totalled £4,338. This amount is greatly in excess of the amount available annually, but it was considered by the executive that even at the risk of shortening the life of the fund it was better to meet the claims of children of - deceased and disabled soldiers requiring assistance at the present time. Since the inception of the fund the sum of £60,591 12g 6d has been applied to provide secondary education for the children of deceased and disabled men who served in the Great War.
