- All students who qualify for the Presidential scholarship will automatically be considered for a Hurie Scholarship, but will be asked to complete an essay and two interviews on-campus.
- These interviews will take place February 16-28, 2008. Students will not be able to interview for Hurie scholarships after February 28. Students who have a school related obligation may request an interview February 2-13. More information about the interview and essay will be available to candidates prior to the interview. Each candidate will be encouraged to participate in a campus visit as part of their interview day. The office of admission will provide hotel lodging for 1 night and meals on campus for the student and family members.
- Students must be admitted by February 15 in order to interview.
The Hurie Scholarship does not cover the cost of administrative fees such as activity fee, media fee, computer use fees, etc. (these total approximately $600 per academic year).
