Scholarship Opportunities for Students at Hollins University

It's scholarship celebration time at Hollins.

This spring, we're hosting several on-campus events to celebrate the achievements of admitted students who have received academic excellence and outstanding achievement awards.

Hollins has for years singled out students for academic excellence. Our Batten Scholars receive full-tuition scholarships, and our Trustee Scholar Award recipients receive up to $15,000 a year for four years.

This year, we're placing new emphasis on achievement in cocurricular activities through our Outstanding Achievement Awards. Students who are strong in community service, leadership, citizenship, and other extracurricular areas are eligible for our Founder's Award. Those who excel in science and math or who demonstrate talent in a creative field are also eligible for sizable awards - up to $10,000 a year for four years.

Hollins is committed to making education affordable. These merit awards are part of a comprehensive approach to financial aid, which also consists of generous need-based assistance, low-interest loans, and convenient payment plans. More than 95% of our students receive some form of financial aid.

To find out more about Hollins' commitment to affordable education, I invite you or your students to e-mail me at reckstein@hollins.edu, or call me at 1-800-456-9595.
