Each scholarship shall be in the amount of $1,800.00 per year. These scholarships shall be payable from the annual appropriation to the school of social work. To be eligible for one of these scholarships a person shall be a young man or woman of good character and shall have been accepted for matriculation by the authorities of the school of social work in accordance with the current standards and requirements of such school. These standards and requirements must, in turn, meet in every way the requirements for admission to an approved graduate school of social work. In awarding these scholarships, preference shall be given to applicants from counties in which there is a severe shortage of professionally trained social workers.
