The [unclear: l ial] Yearbook(p222)gives a break-down [unclear: of ceiving] bursaries in 1971. As the total [unclear: num ll]-time students now is probably little different from what it was then, these provide some basis for analysis. The figures are shown in Table III.
| 1st yr | 2nd yr | 3rd yr | 4th yr | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F&A | 3.0 | 2.5 | 2.1 | 0.8 | 8.4 |
| F&A+ Bursary | 4.2 | 3.1 | 2.8 | 1.5 | 11.6 |
Fees & Allowance, with & without the supplementary Boarding Allowance. Figure, in thousands.
By multiplying each entry in this table by the relevant bursary from Table I we get:
Under the old scheme, $1,922,000 would have been paid out to those under at "at home" category, and $6,742,000 to those getting the boarding allowance as well. The new rates are costing $4,018,000 and $10,184,000 respectively, giving a total of $14,202,000 as against the previous $8,664,000, an increase of $5,538,000.
