Policies
- Enrollment Policy: To be eligible for a HSU Foundation scholarship, you must be a current enrolled student or incoming freshman or transfer student who has been admitted to the university.
- Disbursement Policy: Scholarships are disbursed during the summer and are directly credited to the recipients’ HSU student accounts. Most awards are annual awards that are divided equally between the fall and spring semesters. If a student does not attend a portion of the school year, undisbursed funds are returned to the scholarship fund for a future award.
- Cancellation Policy: the HSU Foundation reserves the right to revoke a scholarship if the recipient is found to not meet the published criteria under which the recipient was initially selected.
Scholarship endowments are managed through Henderson State University’s Foundation. To learn more about establishing a new scholarship, please call the Henderson State University Foundation at 870-230-5347 or click here.
