ciegeas, The Advanced Scholarship Fund should be ade-
43 supported because it provides Synod’s only source for
4-3’ selected pastors and teachers into areas of advanced

ation for future service on Synod’s faculties; therefore be it

Me Resolved, That we accept the recommendations of the Board

Education that “Synod authorize the inclusion of such

a Board for Higher Education; and the Board

: «Recommends, further, that funds assigned to this purpose
through the Fiscal Conference be-administered in the manner now
applying to other budgeted funds assigned to the Board for Higher
Education; and the Board

“Recommends, finally, that the purpose of this fund be suffi-
ciently broadened to enable the Board to assign funds, where
indicated, to members of Synod’s present teaching staffs as well
as to men not serving in that capacity.”

Lutheran High Schoo! Scholarships

In its 1950 convention, Synod authorized the establishment of
synodical scholarships which pay $100 annually to students who
enroll in Concordia College, Fort Wayne, Ind., or in one of the
teachers’ colleges after graduation from a Lutheran high school.
The scholarship grant is available to graduates for as many years
as the student has attended a Lutheran high school.

Under present regulations mere graduation from a Lutheran
high school does not guarantee admission at a synodical college.
The grants are determined on the basis of recommendations and
data furnished by both the high school and the college administra-
tions. Renewals are dependent upon satisfactory work and con~
duct on the part of the student. Academic or disciplinary probation
automatically terminates the grant.

Since the scholarship was designed to insure an adequate
supply of students for the Fort Wayne experimental program and
an adequate supply of male students at River Forest and Seward,
the Board for Higher Education feels that it will be appropriate
for this convention to examine Synod’s experience during the
triennium. . 7

At this time the enrollments at Fort Wayne under the new
plan are so high (including students from non-Lutheran high
schools) that it has been necessary to place restrictions on the
number of graduates which may be sent to the St. Louis Seminary.
These restrictions are placed in order to keep the Fort Wayne
program experimental, since transfers from this program could
otherwise become the largest single group in the seminary stu-
dent body.
