District, County and Area Scholarships Not long after the first provincial scholar ships were set up. the Institutes of some Counties and Districts became interested in providing an annual scholarship for a girl of the county or district. In consultation with the provincial executive it was decided that a good uniform plan would be for the Institutes of a county to build up a fund of $3.000. have it invested and give the annual interest as a scholarship each year. The capital fund would be invested by a provincial committee but the County Institute would make its own presenta- tion of the scholarship. Rules governing the award would he the same as for provincial awards and the scholarship would carry the name of the province as well as the county: for example. "York County Ontario Women‘s Institute Scholarship" or where an individual's name had been given. "Grey County Flora Durnin Ontario Women's Institute Scholarâ€" ship." To date the amount of these scholarships varies from $60 to 590 according to the inter- est on the investment. At the last F.W.l.0. Board Meeting a finance committee was named to review the investments with a View to getting a more equitable and the best possible return. Providing scholarships is a popular Women‘s Institute project in Ontario. There are now County Scholarships in Bruce. Dufterin. Elgin. Grey. Huron. Lambton. Middlesex.
