The term of a bursary is two years, but may be extended for one year longer. A bursar under these regulations receives £20 per annum, together with the fees for the course for the degree or the diploma in home science and domestic arts, and, if obliged to live away from home, an allowance of £30 per annum. These bursaries are not tenable by holders of any other bursaries.or of any scholarship of the value of £20 and upwards. So far (1914) bursaries of this kind to the number of nineteen have been awarded. Ten bursars are taking the course for the degree, and nine that for the diploma in home science and domestic arts.
