The Trustees agreed that the Principal of Wairarapa College should be asked to supply the Trust each year with a list of pupils who might be entitled to receive University Entrance grants. It was pointed out that at present no information in that direction was available and some students might not be aware that a grant was available while in some cases parents were diffident about applying.
