Money Paid Over

The money raised at New Zealand Universities in 1966 for the South African Scholarship has finally been paid over.

The money, amounting to $950, was held while NZUSA accounts were sorted out and a decision made as to how the money was to be applied.

Originally it was proposed to use the money to bring a non-white South African to study in New Zealand, but the money raised was insufficient for this purpose and it was unlikely that the South African Government would grant an exit permit for this purpose.

For a time it was proposed to send the money to the International University Exchange Fund (IUEF), a division of the International Student Conference, for use in its African Scholarship Programme.

The money has now been paid over to the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS) for use in its Prison Education Programme.

This provides for the education of South African Political Prisoners and their families.
