R6.37 - R.G. WILSON SCHOLARSHIPS

A.

Mrs. Annie Wilson widow of the late R.G. Wilson merchant of Melbourne by her will bequeathed to the University the sum of £2,000 for the purpose of founding a scholarship or scholarships in such subject or subjects as the Council of the University may think best to be called the 'R.G. Wilson Scholarship or Scholarships'.

B. The University received (including interest) the sum of £2,160 4s. 8d. in satisfaction of the bequest, which sum increased to $25,403 at 31 December 1994.

It is provided as follows-

1. The sum of $25,403 and any accumulations and additions to the sum forms the endowment of a fund called the 'R.G. Wilson scholarships' ('the fund') and the fund must be paid into an investment pool and remain there until the Council directs otherwise.
2. These are the following R.G. Wilson scholarships ('the scholarships')-
(a) one scholarship awarded to the best student enrolled in a third year course in the department of History; and
(b) three scholarships awarded to the best honours students enrolled in the faculty of Arts.
3. Each scholarship is one quarter of the net annual income of the fund.
4. The scholarships are awarded annually by the Council on the recommendation of the dean of the faculty of Arts.
