Supported by the March of Dimes, the National Foundation offers two $500 scholarships to students who have serious inten tion of completing the necessary training and serving the health field as a member of that profes 3ion. Award recipients are selected on the basis of scholastic achieve ment, personal qualifications, pro ressional promise, and financial need. Because of lack of publicity about the scholarships, few appli ations have been received in the past. The deadline for accepting applications for the coming year is past, but students may now be gin readying their applications for the next year. The deadline will be April 1, 1963. To qualify for the scholarship to study medicine, a student must be currently enrolled as an under ,raduate in a regionally ac !redited college and completing equirements for admission to a !ully-accredited medical school.
