For the assistance of those who would find even the light expenses of the School burdensome, the Commonwealth makes an annual appropriation of a thousand dollars. This sum is distributed among pupils from Massachusetts
who have been connected with
the School thirteen weeks,
and who may merit and
need the aid, in sums varying according to the distance of their residence from the School, and their necessary expenses in attending
it,
but not exceeding in any
case $1.50 per week.
