If you’re from the Midwest, there’s a
good chance you live in a rural community, and if so, this is definitely a good
scholarship to check out! The Hagan Scholarship Foundation (HSF) is
specifically geared towards rural students looking to attend a four-year
college. It’s a nationwide need-based
merit scholarship for high-achieving students in need of financial
assistance. I’ll give you the rundown on this fantastic opportunity below.
Description
The neat thing about the Hagan
Scholarship is that it builds as you go through college, offering more rewards
each year! Another cool thing to note is the HSF annual workshops required for
all recipients to attend (travel and lodging are paid for).
★ This
scholarship will help pay the unmet financial need of the recipient, up to
$5,000 each semester. This amount can be increased in subsequent semesters to
offset the expiration of other scholarships, awards, and grants, if needed.
★ During the
fall semester of the second year of college each recipient gets a personal
$10,000 Schwab Scholar Account - a system intended to provide recipients with
the opportunity to learn firsthand how to invest and be financially responsible
(this too is aided with HSF workshops).
★ During the
fall semester of the third year of college each recipient achieving a 3.50 CGPA
will be eligible for an all expense paid Study
Abroad Award, up to $8,000!
★ During the
fall semester of the fourth year of college, after establishing a personal
Schwab Brokerage Account, each recipient will receive $1,000 to be used to
start investing for their long term financial security.
