Additional Programs & Resources
The scholarship programs administered by HACU are made possible due to generous contributions from corporate and federal organizations. To be eligible for one of HACU’s scholarships, students must be attending a HACU Member or Partner college or university (For a complete listing of HACU member schools, visit http://www.hacu.net/hacu/HACU's_Members.asp) and meet all additional criteria for the program to which they are applying. Some programs may be available for high school seniors intending to enroll in a HACU-member institution in the Fall. Program criteria will vary based on the requirements of the funding organization, e.g. major, level of study, college/university, region of the country, etc. Scholarship amounts also vary depending on the program, usually ranging from $1,000 - $2,800 per year. Most of the scholarships are not renewable. Although students may apply for more than one program, they are encouraged to apply to the program for which they best qualify. Scholarship materials are sent to the Financial Aid Office at HACU Member and Partner colleges and universities and also to other contacts HACU has at its member institutions. The 2011-2012 scholarship application can now be found online. Apply at scholarships.hacu.net or contact scholarships@hacu.net for more information. Annual Conference Scholarships In addition to our general scholarship programs, HACU also has opportunities for students to attend our Annual Conference, held in the fall of each year. There are two ways students attending HACU Member and Partner colleges and universities may be considered for this opportunity. “Student Conference Scholarships” pay for the student’s conference registration, travel, lodging, and meals with conference-sponsored events. The “Student Ambassador” program enables HACU-member colleges and universities to sponsor students to attend HACU’s Annual Conference. Applications for both programs are posted on HACU’s website as they become available. You may contact studenttrack@hacu.net for more information. HACU Annual Conference Student Track You’re invited to attend and take advantage of the educational and career opportunities that will be showcased through workshops and exhibits at the 2013 conference in Chicago, IL.
