R6.53 - JOHN G. CHRISP LAW BURSARY

Recitals-

1. The late Miss Eleanor Elizabeth Heriot Chrisp who died at Lilydale on 28 July 1928 made a bequest of her residuary estate in the following terms-
   
   "To the University of Melbourne for the purpose of founding a Bursary in the name of my late brother 'John G. Chrisp Law Bursary' such Bursary to be for the purpose of enabling deserving persons to pursue the course for the Degree of Bachelor of Laws in the University. And it is my desire that the University should take proper means not merely to determine the character and ability of candidates but also to ascertain the financial position of candidates so as to ensure that the Bursary should be awarded to a person who without such assistance would be deprived of the opportunity of pursuing a course of training in the University for the profession of the law."
   
   
2. At the date of the first making of this regulation in 1931 the University had received £780 in satisfaction of the bequest, which sum increased to $3,645 at 31 December 1994.

1. The sum of $3,645 and any accumulations and additions to the sum forms a fund called the 'John G. Chrisp Law Bursary' ('the fund') and the fund must be paid into an investment pool and remain there until the Council directs otherwise.
   
   
2. The bursary is awarded to a student enrolled in the course for the degree of bachelor of Laws ('the course').
   
   
3. The bursary is awarded by the Council on the recommendation of the Students Loan Fund and Bursaries Committee.
   
   
4. Applicants must produce evidence to the Committee that without assistance they would suffer financial hardship.
   
   
5. The ordinary tenure of the bursary is the period required to complete the course but the Council may if it thinks fit extend the ordinary tenure by a period not exceeding one year.
   
   
6. The bursary must not exceed the net annual income of the fund.
