Colonial Officers
IT was announced in London, in March, by the Nuffield Foundation trustees that £30,000 is being made available for scholarships for junior officers of the Colonial Service.
These scholarships will enable officers of junior rank to qualify for promotion —particularly where qualifications in medicine or biology are required.
The trustees have intimated that they regard the scheme as an experiment and it at present covers only the next three years. If it is regarded as a success, pre sumably the offer will be renewed then.
Scholarships are open to either sex of any race of Dominion or Colonial origin and awards will be made on the recommendation of the Colonial Office and the Colonial Administration con cerned. They will be tenable at any uni versity or similar institution in the Bri tish Empire and tenure of scholarship will vary to meet candidates’ needs.
