There are many scholarships so arranged that, taken in succession, they cover the whole period of school life from an early age until the higher limit of age for junior University scholarships has been reached. The entrance scholarships are open to all boys who have not already entered the school; the others, both to boys already attending it and to those from other schools. For Somes scholarships a preference is to be given ceteris paribus to the kin of the foundress. Mrs. Maria Somes, or of her husband, the late Joseph Somes ; and candidates must be members of the Church of England, or of some church in communion with it. This restriction does not apply to entrance scholarships, or to the special grants of free education sometimes made by the governing body to meet special cases. Entrance Scholarships. —Four are to be offered, if funds permit, in each year. The scholarships are tenable for two years, and cover the ordinary school fees for tuition. Somes Junior Scholarships. —Five are to be offered, if funds permit, in each year. The scholarships are tenable for two years, and of the value of £18 per annum, with. the addition of £15 per annum in the case of boarders in one of the school houses.
