We are disappointed to report that although we had made the
above scholarships known to the member churches/organizations yet
there was no application for any of these scholarships for 1967-68

Scholarship Exchange Scholarship for 1968 - 1969. The above
scholarships are still available for the Academic year 1969-1970.
Those interested should apply now.
