The Department of Human Sciences has a number of scholarships available for its majors. In addition, the Erma Wines Loan Fund is available for short-term emergency loans. These loans are usually for tuition and/or books. Students needing an emergency loan should make an appointment with the Department Chair.
Scholarship applications are available in the Department Office. For most of the scholarships, students need to complete only one form. They can designate on the form the scholarship or scholarships for which they wish to apply. Two completed recommendation forms need to accompany the application. These should be sent directly to the Department of Human Sciences. Scholarships are for undergraduate study unless otherwise indicated.
