ABSTRACT This article makes a fresh contribution to the literature on student funding and its history by drawing attention to a pioneering government initiative, launched in the aftermath of the Great War. From the winter of 1918–1919 until 1923, the Scheme for the Higher Education of Ex-Servicemen provided grants to university students in England and Wales. We argue that it amounted to a major educational reform venture: it supported students on an unprecedented scale, covering fees and maintenance across a broad range of courses and institutions. In order to produce an in-depth analysis of this scheme and its local operation, we have drawn on archival evidence from the Board of Education, the University of Liverpool, the University of Oxford and the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. Our discussion addresses the application process, means-testing and funding decisions as well as the profiles and experiences of grant recipients. The scale and impact of the ex-service scheme raises wider questions about the societal value accorded to higher education within the context of reconstruction after the Great War.

大战后的学生资助和大学入学:阿伯里斯特威斯、利物浦和牛津的退役军人高等教育计划

摘要 本文通过引起人们对一战后发起的开创性政府举措的关注,对有关学生资助及其历史的文献做出了新的贡献。从 1918-1919 年冬天到 1923 年,退役军人高等教育计划向英格兰和威尔士的大学生提供助学金。我们认为它相当于一次重大的教育改革冒险:它以前所未有的规模支持学生,涵盖了广泛的课程和机构的费用和维护费用。为了对该计划及其当地运作进行深入分析,我们借鉴了教育委员会、利物浦大学、牛津大学和威尔士大学阿伯里斯特威斯学院的档案证据。我们的讨论涉及申请过程,经济状况调查和资助决定以及赠款接受者的概况和经验。退役计划的规模和影响引发了更广泛的问题,即在大战后重建的背景下赋予高等教育的社会价值。
