New Zealand School of Mines.—Scholarship Regulations.

Mines Department,
Wellington, 4th October, 1938.

SIX scholarships are offered annually for competition by students attending schools of mines within the Dominion —three for the South Island, and three for the North Island.

2. The scholarships will be granted to those candidates who comply with the conditions and obtain the highest percentage of marks, which must not be less than specified in Regulation 9.

3. Holders of scholarships are required to attend during the University session at the University of Otago (no class fees will be charged on subjects contained in the curriculum of the Otago School of Mines), and during the long recess are also required to engage in approved practical work at one of the mines or batteries in the Dominion, or in the field with the New Zealand Geological Survey Department.

4. The scholarships will be of the annual value of £50 each to successful candidates who, while attending classes at the University of Otago, have to reside away from their homes, and of £30 to successful candidates who are able to reside at their homes while attending the University classes.

5. The scholarships will be tenable for four years.

6. The scholarships will be open to all students as aforesaid who are not less than sixteen years of age on the day appointed for receiving applications and who shall have attended regularly at any school of mines within the Dominion for not less than two years at least 80 per cent. of the lectures in each subject of the examination course: Provided that the Minister may grant such exemption from the provisions of this regulation as he thinks reasonable in any case where it was not practicable for a student to attend 80 per cent. of the lectures in a subject in which he wishes to be examined, or where no lectures were held in that subject at the school of mines at which he was a student.

7. The examinations will be held in or about the month of December in each year, on days which will be duly announced.

8. The examination will embrace six of the following subjects,—
   (1) Mathematics.

Subjects 1, 2 or 3, and 5 are compulsory for all candidates, and each candidate must state in his application the branch of mining he intends to take up.

9. No scholarship shall be awarded to any candidate who does not obtain 60 per cent. of the marks in each of the six subjects.

10. The examination may be passed as a whole or in sections. In the latter case the first section must consist of not less than four subjects. The remaining two subjects may be passed separately provided the whole examination is concluded not later than the second examination succeeding the examination at which the candidate passed the first section.

11. No payment on account of the scholarship will be made until the whole examination is passed.

12. Applications from candidates, accompanied by a fee of £1, and by a certificate from the director of the school of mines stating the number of lectures which the student has attended in each subject, must reach the Mines Department, in Wellington, not later than the 1st November in each year. Candidates who elect to pass the examination in sections as provided for in Regulation 10 will require to forward with each application a fee of £1, together with the necessary certificate from the Director of the School of Mines.

13. Candidates must present themselves for examination on the day fixed, as provided in Regulation No. 7.

14. The Minister of Mines retains to himself the right of cancelling any scholarship should the holder attend irregularly or be reported for idleness or bad conduct.

15. Holders of scholarships having to pay more than £5 for their return railway (second-class) or steamer fare to Dunedin will be refunded by the Mines Department any excess over the sum of £5, but such refund will only be made once in each year. Receipts for each fare paid in excess of 5s. (other than railway fares) must accompany each application for a refund.

16. These regulations supersede the regulations published in the New Zealand Gazette of the 2nd February, 1933, as amended by notices in the New Zealand Gazette of the 30th August, 1934. and the 15th April, 1937.
