HCEF scholarship applications are available Jan. 2
The Holmes County Education Foundation is accepting scholarship applications for academic year 2018-19, beginning Jan. 2.
The new online scholarship applications can only be found on the HCEF website at www.hcef.net. The new online scholarship system offers a matching criteria search in which students may apply to multiple scholarships for which they may be eligible. Additional information including scholarship descriptions and award amounts also are located on the website.
The scholarships are primarily financial-need based; however, academic promise and other noneconomic criteria may be considered. Scholarship applications are only accepted once per academic year. Be sure to apply during the application period if you intend to enroll in an accredited higher education institution for either the fall or spring semester.
Graduating high school seniors, adult students currently or previously enrolled in college, graduate-school students, home-schooled students, or other individuals pursuing further education who reside in Holmes County and/or have graduated from a Holmes County high school are eligible to apply.
The application deadline is Friday, April 13, and applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. on that day. Students currently receiving Education Foundation scholarships were emailed a renewal application link in December.
Additional information on financial aid and outside scholarships is posted on the Holmes County Education Foundation’s Facebook page. Like their page to stay informed.
