hours taken.

in the amount of entrance scholarships.
At a meeting on December 14th 1977 it was recommended and approved by
S.C.S.A.B. that two categories of scholarships be established.
Category (a) would include students who are utilizing graded course
work for competition.
?
Category (b) would include students who are
?
utilizing non-graded courses for competitions (P/W P/NE P/F). This
would include P.D.P. students also. Proportional budgets for the
two categories may be established.
