The Alumnae Regional Scholarship Fund is a financial aid fund for allstudents at the college. Financial aid from this fund is distributedwithout regard to the student's home district, or to the amount that thestudent's home district raised that year. Nevertheless, the AlumnaeAssociation takes note of the total raised in each district, and allots 1-3Alumnae Regional Scholarships ($2000 stipends to sophomores for independentstudy projects) on the basis of the district total.
The Hope Wearn Troxell Fund was established in memory of Hope WearnTroxell, '46. This fund provides financial aid for a student from SouthernCalifornia. The money donated to this fund annually does not count towardour district total when Alumnae Regional Scholarships are allotted to eachdistrict.
