Scholarship Notations: Merit-Based Scholarships are for tuition only. Students must be full-time on the Brownwood campus to receive one of the above Merit-Based Scholarships. Only one Merit-Based Scholarship will be awarded to any one student. If a student should meet one of the higher eligibility criteria within a higher scholarship range prior to the first day of classes, then the lower scholarship will become void and the higher scholarship will be awarded. No change in scholarship level will be permitted after the first day of the student's beginning semester. Residual test scores will not be considered in determining scholarship eligibility. Concerning admission to the university and eligibility for scholarships, only the Math and Verbal/Critical Reading scores of the SAT will be considered (Writing portion of the SAT is excluded). Students receiving first-year, merit-based scholarships must meet the criteria above in the academic year following high school graduation as stated in the HPU Catalog. Students who enroll at HPU during the first semester following high school graduation will be classified as a first-year student for scholarship purposes. College hours obtained through dual-enrollment classes will not be considered when determining scholarship eligibility. Students who have an earned bachelor’s degree will not be considered for the Transfer Scholarships. HPU reserves the right to calculate the secondary school GPA based on academic courses completed. Students are encouraged to complete a college preparatory curriculum in order to receive the best opportunity to qualify for merit-based scholarships.
