approved by the Director, into a bond to repay the amount paid
in allowances and fees in respect to her bursary in case she should
fail to complete satisfactorily the prescribed course, or fail to
complete in New Zealand, within five years after the close of her
course, or within such period as the Director may in special
cases approve, service of not less than three years as a teacher
or instructor in a public school, secondary school, technical school,
or university college, or in any school under the control of the
Education Department.

  1. Every qualified person desirous of obtaining a bursary shall make
    application therefor on a form provided by the Education Department, and
    shall, on or before the 1st day of February in any year, lodge her application,
    together with the necessary certificates, with the Registrar of the University
    of Otago; and the Registrar shall thereupon transmit the same, together
    with the recommendation of the Council, to the Director.

  2. The term of a bursary shall be two years if the holder so long fulfils
    the prescribed conditions; provided that on the recommendation of the
    Chairman of the Professorial Board the Director may extend the term for
    one year longer.

  3. A bursary must be held continuously, except in case of illness or
    special circumstances approved by the Director.

  4. A Home Science and Domestic Arts Bursary shall not be tenable
    with or after the tenure of a University Junior Scholarship, a University
    National Scholarship, or any other scholarship, exhibition, or bursary or
    combination thereof, which may have been granted for the purpose of
    assisting the holder in obtaining university education, and the value or
    combined value of which (exclusive of any lodging-allowances received)
    exceeds £20 per annum.

  5. (a.) A bursary awarded under these regulations shall be of the annual
    value of £20, in addition to an amount towards the tuition fees approved
    by the Director and payable by the holder thereof in respect of the
    course for the degree or the diploma in Home Science and Domestic Arts,
    as the case may be; provided that, except in special cases approved by
    the Director, not more than one year's fees shall be payable with respect
    to any subject at the same grade.

(b.) If in the opinion of the Director the holder of a bursary is obliged
to live away from her home or her usual place of residence in order to carry
out the required course of instruction she shall, in addition to the amount
of the bursary and the fees as aforesaid, receive a further allowance at the
rate of £30 per annum, provided that the arrangements made in respect
of the holder's board and residence shall first be approved by the Council.

(c.) The holder of a bursary who lives at home, but is obliged to travel
more than four miles each way in order to attend the classes, shall be en-
titled to a refund of the actual cost of travelling, not exceeding £10 in any
year.

  1. Unless the Chairman of the Professorial Board, by report at the end
    of each year, shows to the satisfaction of the Director that the holder of a
    bursary under these regulations has regularly attended the classes in the
    said Home Science and Domestic Arts course, and has made satisfactory
    progress in the work of those classes, the bursary shall forthwith be deter-
    mined, unless it is shown to the satisfaction of the Director that any failure
    in attendance, diligence, or progress was due to illness or other sufficient
    cause; and on such determination the holder shall, if the Director so
    requires, refund the allowances and fees paid on her behalf.

  2. On receipt of an unfavourable report from the Chairman of the Pro-
    fessorial Board on the attendance, diligence, or progress of the holder of
    a bursary, the Director may at any time determine the tenure of the bursary,
    and the holder thereof shall, if the Director so requires, refund the allow-
    ances and fees paid on her behalf.

  3. Generally the conditions that require to be fulfilled before the
    holder of a bursary can be considered as having made satisfactory progress
    shall include the passing of the college examinations in the subject or sub-
    jects of the Home Science and Domestic Arts course taken by the holder,
    or the passing of a section of the examination for the degree or diploma in
    Home Science and Domestic Arts.

  4. These regulations shall not apply in the case of bursaries heretofore
    awarded, but such bursaries shall continue to be governed by the regulations
    under which they were awarded.
