living at home (paid to student)

Men students receive _L25 _maintenance grant.

Apparently the Government policy, as evidenced by its maintenance
grants, is to discourage women students from entering residential
colleges. Yet it is a well-known fact that the wear and tear involved
in living at home is far greater than at college--especially for
women--and the educational advantages correspondingly fewer than those
resulting from residence.

County Councils frequently provide "free places" at local colleges,
together, in some cases, with supplementary bursaries for
maintenance. Non-resident students--_e.g._, in London--seldom have
any out-of-pocket expenses for their actual education. Nor must it be
forgotten that education up to college age is free to junior county
scholars and to bursars, who also receive small grants towards
maintenance.

_College Fees for other than Elementary Teachers-in-Training_[2]

Oxford and Cambridge Colleges From L90 to L105 a year for a
minimum of 3 years (of 24 weeks).

Other Residential Universities
and Colleges From L52 to L90 or L110 a
year for a minimum of 3
years (of 30 to 35 weeks).

Non-residential Colleges From L20 to L55 a year for a
minimum of 3 years. (The
cost of maintenance must be
reckoned at about L40 a
year, as a minimum.)

Students who desire to do advanced work will need at least one, and
probably two, additional years at the University, while all women who
intend to teach in schools ought also to spend one year in training.

A large number of County Councils provide "senior" scholarships to
cover or partially to cover college fees. In some counties only one
or two such scholarships are given annually, and there is severe
competition: in others they are comparatively easy to obtain, though
there are never enough for all candidates who desire a University
education. Most of these scholarships are not renewable for a fourth
year of training--an extremely short-sighted policy on the part of the
authorities.

At practically every University, entrance or other scholarships and
exhibitions are awarded annually. Competition for these is usually
very severe, and they are extreme
