| Summary | "Elsie's Scholarship: And Why She Surrendered It" by Emma Leslie is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Elsie Winn, a determined young girl striving to win a scholarship for continued education, ideally to enroll in a grammar school. However, she faces obstacles concerning family obligations, friendships, and ultimately, personal sacrifice that may challenge her dreams. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Elsie and her friends, Mary and Jane, as they enter a preliminary examination to compete for a scholarship. We see their hopes and aspirations, particularly Elsie's, who has a supportive family but knows that without a scholarship, her chances of furthering her education are slim. The chapter reveals the dynamics of their friendships, the importance of the exam, and the bittersweet nature of academic competition, setting the stage for the emotional challenges Elsie will face as her family experiences tragedy that impacts her opportunity for education.
