Merit Awards
Merit Awards are institutional scholarships awarded by HCU to new students in recognition of their academic achievements. These awards are available to all first-year residential students (Freshmen and Transfer) based upon GPA and class rank and are renewable so long as students maintain the listed minimum GPA requirement throughout their time at HCU. Merit Awards are not available for post-baccalaureate or online students and only apply to fall and spring semesters – they cannot be applied towards summer courses.
