T h e se will be tenable in universities in th e U n ite d States for one or two years b eg inning in S eptember, 1966. T h e Fellowships are designed to improve the qualifica tions of teachers and th e quality of teaching in the Chinese University and certain o th er Post-S econdary Colleges. Only teachers who can satisfy W U S of their intentions to re tu rn to their college or to any o th er institution of higher education in H o n g K o ng for a period at least equal to the te n u re of the fellow ship can be considered u n d e r this programme. It is not necessary for a Fellow to work tow ard a higher degree, th o ug h a regular formal p ro g ram of course work mu st be followed. Post-degree refresher courses are considered a legitimate aspect of this program . T h e Fellowship does not provide a full scholarship, as it is expected th a t th e Fellow will win an assistant- ship or scholarship at th e university which accepts him. T h u s , W U S merely su p plem en ts the g rant from the American university to ensure th a t the costs of tuition, room , board, and miscellaneous living ex penses are covered.
