More Scholarship Opportunities
Outside Scholarships are a helpful resource for making college more affordable. Applying for scholarships can take a lot of time and effort, but it’s worth it – scholarships don’t need to be repaid! We strongly encourage all students to investigate and apply for scholarships beyond the HU Merit scholarships.
The best place to start your scholarship search is with any organization that you or a family member has an affiliation with (such as your or your parents’ employer, church or religious organization, clubs and sports organizations). If you’re a current high school student, contact your guidance office for information on local scholarships.
Below are scholarship search sites that have been vetted by our Financial Aid Office. We recommend you avoid any search sites that request money.
