                    1)  Through the generosity of Miss Emma Kaufman of Toronto,  a
                         Visiting Fellowship of $1,500 will be available at the  Canadian

                               The purpose of this Fellowship is to enable a scholar with
                         prior experience and interest in the  field of Missiology or
                         Ecumehics to spend an academic year  (or portion thereof) at the
                         Institute  doing research in some subject  within one of these
                         fields.
                               Preference will be given to men and women,  ordained or
                         lay,  Canadian or foreign,  between the ages of 28 and 40,  who
                         have already had experience of the mission field or of ecumenical
                         activity,  and who give promise of producing original work which
                         may promote  the  cause of the Church's Mission in Unity.

                    2)  One Ecumenical Scholarship Exchange Scholarship

                               The purpose of this scholarship is to enable a student
                        to do post-graduate studies in the U.S.A.

                   3)  East Asia Christian Churches Scholarships

                              There are 23  free places offered by Colleges and Univer-
                        sities in the East Asia Countries.

                   4)  Theological Scholarships for Laity

                   5)  Special. Theological Scholarships  for women

                   Young men and women who are preparing for full-time  Christian
             service and have completed all or most of their basic theological study;
             candidates for the ministry and pastors,  persons preparing for other
             forms of full-time, employment  in the church or related organizations,
             if they meet  the necessary qualifications,  are all eligible  to apply
             for any one of the stated scholarships.


                   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  during the year.  The
             above scholarships are still available for the Academic year 1972-73.
             Those interested should apply now.
