Scholarships - Amount and conditions; selection of recipients.
Each scholarship provided for by this article shall be in the amount of $600.00 per year payable from funds appropriated to the University of Alabama School of Nursing for this purpose. A scholarship may either be renewed by the school of nursing for the same student or awarded to another applicant for the scholarship. Appropriate competitive examinations of aptitude and ability shall be administered to the applicants by the University of Alabama School of Nursing.
