It is important therefore that\nthe applicant should be genuinely interested in and desirous of undertaking rural\nwork under the American Red Cross. Each scholarship and loan is granted with the un-\nderstanding that the nurse is taking her course for this purpose. It is not expected\nthat nurses having sufficient financial resources of their own will apply for a schol-\narship or loan. It is understood that nurses will apply for the minimum amount nec-\nessary to supplement their own resources. The amount of the scholarship shall not\nexceed one fourth the cost of the course; the remainder shall be in the form of a\nloan; the total amount granted will not exceed two thirds the cost of the course.\nIt is also important for the applicant to understand that in accepting a scholar-\nship and loan she commits herself to accept a position with a Red Cross chapter at the\nusual salary prevailing among chapters. The applicant is given a reasonable degree of\nchoice of localities and is never assigned to a position far from her home except of\nher own volition but she must understand that she may not limit her choice to her own\ntown or nearby towns. In order to determine the applicant's qualifications for this\nservice and the possibility of fulfilling her obligation, the following information\nis desired of the applicant:\nQUALIFICATIONS\nName in full Laura Foye Knowlton\nPermanent address Vassalboro, maine\nTemporary address Bar Harbor, maine are\nAre you registered?
